Welcome to Your Journey of Self Discovery

Below are a few poems from my first book "When God Answered: Poems of Faith and Possibilities".
Suicide Salvation   Alone on a bridge a young man stands at the ledge Inching closer and closer to its very narrow edge Forgive me Father for what I am about to do You know in my heart I have always loved you As the man was about to jump he heard a voice A man standing behind him yelling you have a choice The jumper stepped back and asked what he said The man then told him this is not how it should end How do you know the jumper asked of the man He said I was in the same place until God gave me a plan Ten years ago I stood on that very spot Trying to forget all the troubles I got I was about to jump when I fell back Into the arms of a man named Pastor Jack He asked me why I would end my life Leaving behind children and a pregnant wife I told him of all my earthly despairs He said turn to God because the Father cares He then read me a passage called John 3:16 And told me stories of what it all means He said there is nothing so bad as to end it all You only cause more problems when you take that fall So I ask you from the heart to come down from the bridge And I promise to explain why God wants you to live The jumper with tears climbed down to the road To thank the man for the wisdom he bestowed When he got to the street the man was not to be found Nothing was there except a Bible on the ground The jumper perplexed opened the first page And started to cry when he saw the last owner’s name It said this Bible belonged to the late Pastor Jack Once you’ve read it you’ll have the knowledge you lack And thank you for trusting in Gods holy pledge But leave this Bible where you found it for the next on this ledge	The Letter     Dear Jesus,   This letter was originally going to Santa Claus But the gift I request can’t have any flaws And although I know Santa tries his best Sometimes you don’t get what you request This time the Gift has to be exactly right Because the doctors say I don’t have much time My name is Tommy and I just turned ten And the doctors say my cancers back again They say it’s more aggressive than originally believed And I am not responding to treatments received They’ve given me only a fifty/fifty chance Because the cancer is now so far advanced The tumors have spread throughout my chest And there are no more treatments they can suggest I hear mom and dad pray to you every night And ask that you make my body all right So I ask you to do what the doctors can not To heal my body right on the spot I know what I am asking may seem a little too hard But if you can do it I’ll give you my baseball cards Well that’s about it and it’s time for bed I’ll just sign this letter and place it by my head I hope you get the letter in plenty of time With all of my love signed Tommy Levine Jesus came to Tommy with a healing plan He cured the boy with just a touch of His hand The next morning all of his doctors were truly amazed They couldn’t explain it but Tommy was saved They said his cancer is no where in sight It’s like something healed him in the middle of the night His mom leaned over to tell him he’s better Tommy said I know Jesus answered my letter
Deceiver to Believer     It’s Sunday morning and we’re off to church To listen to a pastor talk about our eternal search I’m only going because my wife believes Personally I’d rather be at home watching T.V. It’s playoff time and my team is winning Instead I have to listen to some guy about sinning We all sin I’m sure even the pastor does But he stands up there preaching about Gods holy love Today he’ll preach about another Bible chapter When in reality I know it’s my money he’s after I’ll sit and listen until they pass the plate Another ten percent of my paycheck now isn’t that great Every single week he preaches the same old thing How we'll be saved by the wondrous king Oh, something different he says now he can heal And anyone with pain should come up and kneel I’ve got back pain and I’ll put him to the test O.K. preacher man now show me your best He said someone up here has a very bad back And a belief in God this person does lack God will heal you and will test your faith And you’ll see for yourself that His powers are great The preacher looked at me and said you’re the one Then placed his hand on my back and the healing had begun By the power of God I pull all your pain out And along with it all of your spiritual doubts I stood for the first time without any pain I looked for an answer, but I couldn’t explain A tear fell from my eye and I felt overwhelming relief The pastor said son that’s the beginning of belief Pray with me now and accept Jesus into your heart You’ll be born again and God will give you a fresh start Now every Sunday I’m in church praising Gods name But between you and me I still record all the games	The Question     Since the beginning when time began The question has been raised what created man Was it an explosion they have led us to believe Or was it by God who created Adam and Eve Scientists will say from amoebas we evolved They published reports saying the mystery was solved But for others like me this isn’t the case I believe God created life and the entire human race They say the book of Genesis couldn’t happen that way How do they know were they there on that day Just like the big bang theory I can’t say for sure But when judgment day comes who’ll feel more secure So to evolutionist everywhere bidding your final farewell I suggest you pack light I heard it’s hot down in hell
