Praise Him: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry January 26, 2021January 15, 2021No Comments

This poem is about praising God for all He has done. More and more I want to praise Him for the creativity and life He has given me. That is why more of my current poems are focused on God.

Praise,
praise Him,
who created heaven and earth.
Praise Him,
who guided Israel to the promise land.
Praise Him,
who oh so loved the world.

Please Him,
who gave Jesus to the nations.
Praise Him,
who deated death.
Praise Him,
who oh so loved the world.

Praise Him,
who gives new life.
Praise Him,
who guides you and me.
Praise Him,
who oh so loves the world.

My Warrior Cry: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry January 12, 2021December 8, 2020No Comments

Let this be my warrior cry.
If life is a battle field I will fight.
I am in God's army.
I will be on His side.
My battles are His.

Let me put on my armor.
I will stand my ground.
I will fight with God's righteous love,
not against the seen
but what is hiding underneath.

Never Repeat (a poetry reading)

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded January 7, 2021December 8, 2020No Comments

Back in 2013 I wrote and posted Never Repeat. The next year I did a poetry reading of it. I was then going to put it in To Love, but as I edited it and focused the book on the love the poem didn’t fit anymore. Now I get to share it with you here, again.

Never repeat
not a single word
only write your heart,
the soul deep inside.
Let out one song
singing it loud
be proud
of the depths that are felt
dreams while live.
Remember this day
happens but once so
shine light with smiles,
cherish love
and see everything;
never repeating
not a single word.

My Psalm 23: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry December 29, 2020December 8, 2020No Comments

In a Bible study I’m part of we practice putting scripture in our own words in order to better understand what the Bible says. I love doing this and once did it with Psalm 23. Here is my version of Psalm 23.

Lord, You are my leader and guide.
I will follow you.
You lead me to abudance in life 
and refreshment for my soul.
You restore my soul, which You created. 
You lead me on the path of what's right and good.
I may walk through scarry and dark times,
yet I don't have to fear anything.
You are with me.
You will protect me and that comforts me.
You prepare a wonderfull feast for me
and even though my enemies may be around
who cares?
You bless me and call me your own.
I overflow with Your blessings and love.
As I follow You Your goodness and Your mercy follow me.
Forever Your love will be with me
and I will love and live with You,
Forever.

The Sea: A Throwback Post

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded December 10, 2020December 1, 2020No Comments

This is a throwback post to an older piece of poetry for me, called The Sea. I originally wrote this in college. It was for a class that I took I believe in 2007. I then edited in 2013 and again in 2016 for both editions of my first poetry book, Growing Poems.

In Feburary 2019 when I wanted to get more serious about promoting my writing and art I recorded the poem as a poetry reading. I never posted that reading here, so in my efforts to make sure everything I do is on this site I am sharing it with you today.

I do hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.

In Times: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry, Poetry Portfolio December 8, 2020January 5, 2021No Comments

In times of sorrow
hold me near.
In times of joy
show me you care.
In times of worry 
protect me from my fear.
In times of peace
help me stay aware.
In all times, in every way
show me your love, my dear.

Dreams Fighting Reality (poetry reading): A Throwback Post

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded December 3, 2020October 23, 2020No Comments

Dreams Fighting Reality is a poem I wrote a while ago. I recorded it as a poetry reading back in 2014.

Dreams Fighting Reality

My dreams danced away together
from my very own reality.
Like ballerinas trapped within my mind
They danced away 
so I could not find the love I wanted;
The love I wished was mine.
Yes, my dreams slowly danced away
when reality told me
he was here to stay
But he seems to have strayed
because here comes my dreams
on this new day.
My dreams once again dance near by
as I force my reality to be mine.
Because this fight for what is right,
what is fair and what must be
has left a hole deep inside of me
so I fight to keep my dreams
and I fight to change my reality

Changing To A Dance: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry December 1, 2020November 25, 2020No Comments

I'm changing this fight
into a dancce.
I will not war
not against my own life.
Instead the trumpets
will be the rhythm of my feet.
Turn the battle cries 
into songs of praise.
This will be a new day,
one with no more fighting
 not against my own life.
I'll allow the ebs and flows
to direct my dance,
know it's God's will.
I will follow.
I will go.
He leads, I follow,
without a fight,
just a dance.

The Sea Limerick: A Throwback Post

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded November 19, 2020October 23, 2020No Comments

Here is an older poem of mine called The Sea Limerick. I do have another poem that is just called, The Sea. They are two completely different poems and I honestly didn’t realize that I named two poems basically the same thing until I was looking for videos to do Throwback posts for.

The Sea Limerick

I went to the sea to see you see.
Yet, I could see nothing but the sea.
So I went to the shore
Just so I would be sure
That I could still see beyond the sea.

The original post is still available to read, along with other poems of mine. If you would like to watch more poetry readings I do also have a YouTube Playlist for that.

Count The Rhymes

by tiffanyPoetry, Uncategorized November 17, 2020November 13, 2020No Comments

One, Two, Three, Four
Where is the open door?
Is there an opportunity for me?
Am I walking closer to you?
Are all the right things done?

Four, Three, Two, One
The race will be won.
As I draw close to you my spirit flew
each opportunity will set me free
to follow the one I adore.
