Be Patient, Be K i n d

Be careful please if you 
Lacking faith and insight
Draw your hand and bring it to me again 

God watches us all
He sees your deeds 
Be careful, for you cannot plead innocent with bloodshed on your hands... 

Patience is what I pray for you to have 
My love... 
If you are to throw me down again 
How many times this has happened... 
I cannot tell  

All I can tell is that I will take your apology 
And watch the grains of sand till my next punishment 

Tender kisses reach me again 
I can see your feeling well today... 
But what about tomorrow, love? 
Will I fall out of your grace? 

I believe every promise you tell me each time around 
I cover up all my marks in thick powder 
And embrace them again when it all washes away 

Still, be careful... 
For God is watching and becomes wrathful at your sight 

Teach me again what I must learn 
If I don't wake up this time 
When things go black 
When I reach light 
While I lay sleeping if I slip away 

I pray life's gates do not stay closed for you  

And that your name is in his book 

For you to be redeemed and judged on that righteous scale

So that I may meet you when you are patient...

Kind

Author's Note

Poem for those trapped in abusive relationships...
Those who forgive countless times...
Those who can't find their way out
Who still love them
Who want them to be patient
Who want them to be kind
And pray for them
Every time to meet grace...

I don't believe people go to heaven. However life's gates at the resurrection means allot in my eyes... I hope you enjoy my poem, and if you have anything to say about it by all means... Please.
