Trevor My Poet

These last few weeks Trevor has been studying and writing poems... I think he did a fantastic job!!! and I wanted to share...Enjoy. If you have time add a comment for Trevor to read:)

Concrete Poem (shape of a bird egg)

Listen

I wait

There! In the

Tree. The Finch

Sings, I listen I wait

There in the sky, the

Hawk soars. I love

The birds, for I am

a bird watcher.

Haiku Poem

A snake strikes at me

It misses me and my friend

The snake strikes again

Lyric Poem

Our old big fat tree

The tree looks like mint ice cream

Big fat leaves

The seeds look like mints

The leaves look like green ice cream

Old brown seeds

I love our old big fat tree

It brings lots of memories

I love trees

Limerick Poem

Mom asked me if I wanted to go to Barstow to pee.

Yes said me, just don’t make me eat a pea.

We stop to pee, I pee with glee.

Weeeee! Said me, for Barstow is the best place to pee.

Psalm 139

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tougue you know it completely, O LORD. You hem me in-behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wounderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wounderfully made; your works are wounderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

This Psalm of David has blessed me so much during my life...good times and heartbreaking times...can you just picture God holding us in His great big hands like a child holds a treasure for safe keeping? Or Him just sitting there thinking about us and waiting for us to talk to Him? He has time for each of us...why is it so hard to give Him our time? The one who created us? And knows what we are going to say before we say the words... Oh Lord please let them be the correct words!! Thank you my LORD for loving me and thinking of me even though I am as filthy rags. Thank you... for making me clean as pure snow through Jesus.
