Poems 1994-2001

By David Thomas Gross

 

 

 

1994

 

A Butterfly

Look at the Butterfly in the sky

Floating graciously like the wind

Remembering the days when it was

Weak and feeble and was bound to

The Ground it went away to a lonely

Place where it was transformed

A Butterfly                                                                                                                                                                        


 

A Friend of Mine

November 15, 1993

He's' been a Friend when, the times of loneliness came

He's' been a Friend when, my heart was broke and cold

He's' been a Friend when, i was not a good friend

He's' been a Friend when, i was ready to quit it all

He's' been a Friend when, the shadows of the crowds cover me

He's' been a Friend when, i needed a ear to listen to my heart

Jesus is that he, my Friend


 

A Quiet Talk with God

A quiet talk is all what I need

Let's take a Long walk, just you and I,

And have another

Quiet talk

As we walk I can't but notice your eyes

With life and Light I see reflections of my Cries

The words are stuck in my heart, But you say

"I already Know what you were going to say, even before you spoke."

you calm my fears, and wipe my tears

and I've found you hold my hand and won't let go

as I walk I follow after you

your precious love you do bestow

As I kneel at your feet

your quiet voice touches my heart

and I don't want to depart your Presence

For in my life there's nothing more precious

Than a Quiet Talk with Jesus

94


 

A TEAR FROM ABOVE

HE SEE'S MY TEARS,

AS THEY ROLE DOWN MY CHEEKS

HE KNOWS THAT I AM WEAK AND LOWLY

HE HEARS MY CRY

AS I FEEL MY HEART IS ABOUT TO DIE.

AND WHEN I FEEL I CA'T GO ON ANY MORE

I LOOK UP IN THE SKY, I SEE A TEAR FALLING FROM

JESUS' EYE, AS HE STANDS CLOSE BY ME AND WIPES

THE TEAR FROM MY EYE AND SAYES

I LOVE YOU

DAVID


 

 

As a Flower

11\18\93

May my life Be as a flower

May i not be blown By the storms of life

May i not be scorched by the droughts, But

May the SON bring Growth and new life, and

May i be each morning new Just

As A flower in Jesus' Care


 

Behind the Clouds

March 29, 1994

Behind the clouds of life, sometime i don't always see

oh lord what you have for me

Behind the clouds of life, i cant always hear

oh lord what your trying to say to me

Behind the rain of life, i don't always feel

oh lord what i am getting but wet

Behind the Clouds              

Behind the trouble of life, sometimes i don't always see

oh lord what you have for me

behind the tribulations of life, i cant always hear

oh lord what your tying to say to me

Behind the pain of life, i don't always feel

oh lord what i am getting but hurt

Behind the clouds is one thing I know

that will brighten my day

and bring hope for tomorrow

The Son of God                                                                                                                                   


                                                                                               

TODAY I FELT SO, AH WHATS THE WORD

                BLAA ?

                                NOTHING

                                                ZILTCH

                I WASENT SAD

                I WASENT HAPPY

                I WASENT MAD

                I WASENT FRAIDE

                JUST BLAA,

                BLAA  BLAA  BLAA

                BLAA  BLAA  BLAA                                                      

                BLAA  BLAA  BLAA

                BLAA  BLAA  BLAA                      

 

LIKE A BABY SLEEPING, WITH SUCH PEACE

      BLAA

MY HEART WAS AT EASE

                AND TODAY WAS JUST

                BLAA 


 

BLUE MAN

THE MAN WAS TURNING BLUE

HIS COUGHFING HAD STOPED IT LOOKED LIKE

HE WAS DIEING, CHOKEING TO DEATH

HIS CALLS FOR HELP WERE DROUNDED BY THE

NOISE OF EVERYONE AROUND, YET I HEARD HIM

I KNEW CPR, AND WAS TRAINED,

THE CHOICE WAS MINE TO HELP OR NOT

----------------------------------------------------------

THE MAN WAS BLUE WITH GREIF

HIS CRYING HAD STOPED IT LOOKED LIKE

HE WAS DIEING, CHOKED BY SIN

HIS CALLS FOR HELP WERE DROUNDED BY THE

NOISE OF EVERYONE AROUND, YET I HEARD HIM

I KNOW JESUS,AND WAS TRIANED AT VFCC, 

THE CHOICE WAS MINE TO TELL OR NOT


 

''Come out and socialize with us.''

April 11, 1994

 

I for so long wanted to be part of a "click"

                But never was

I hate being alone, feeling like a shadow

                But it always happens    

I fear saying Good-bye, so I don't say anything

                But I know I should try

I hide behind a smile, my hearts cry's I hide

                Now you ask for me to come out and abide

                                I say yes, I have so much to say,

                                                 but no one seems to hear

                                I long to laugh and have fun again

                                                 But no one thinks it's funny

                                I dread being Just a shadow, which no one really knows

                                                 But I usually am 

                                I want to come out and socialize.

                                                I want to be your friend.

                                                I want to be your friend.


 

Daddy God

Oh, Daddy God Why Do i feel so all alone

What makes me so hateful of myself

How come I fear rejection so much

Oh, Daddy God

I need someone to listen

to Just care

Just to stand by and share my cries

Oh, Daddy God

I feel that I cant go on

My life is a mess

I need a Friend

Oh, Daddy God

I need you Love

I want your Love, Daddy God                          


 

headache

I forgot what I was going to ask you

my head its pounding

just like my heart

my eyes art blurry

i feel quite dizzy

my stomach is growling

i need to eat

my ears are ringing

i need some sleep

my head seems to be in a vice

i don't need your advice too

my fingers want to finish this poem

i can't think how

my mind is dead

this is what i dreaded

i just want to go to bed

oh yea do you have any aspirin ?

Thanks

gulp, swallow, sleep

.........all better..............................


 

Jesus stood across from me

I felt so guilty

                I felt like I let him down

                I felt so far away

                I felt like leaving

                                but I stayed

Jesus stood across from me

                He didn't say a word

                He wasn't disappointed

                He was so close

                He Gave me the choice to go

Jesus stood across from me

                He didn't have to say a word

                His eyes spoke Love

                As

Jesus stayed on a Cross for me

                for me ?

                and Now

                with out many words, Just his blood

 

I stand across from Jesus

                Because of his forgiving Love          


 

Leaves

Slowly they fall one by one to the earth below

                the soft wind blowing each one in the sky

                there colors each striking to the eye as the

                tree cries its leaves away they fall all alone

                till they reach the ground where they die

                then it's time to rake them up.(what fun)                   


 

LET GO OF MY TOUNGGG

 

LET GO

                LET GO

                                LET GO,SO I CAN SPEAK

                                                            LET GO, SO I CAN SCREAM

                LET GO

                                LET GO

                                                                                                LET GO OF MY TOUUNGGG... OUCH!

 

                LET GO

                                LET GO

                                                                                                LET GO, IT HURTS SO VERY SO

                                                                                                LET GO, LET MY TOUNG GO

                                LET GOD                  

                WHY WON'T I LET GO

                                AND LET GOD

                BE MY TOUNG


 

Look, Look at my rist

March 24, 1994      

                and you will see

                A scared Memory

                                Not too many see

                                                Of a lonely Hour

                                                                When I didn't want to face another Day

                                                                When I can't even Pray

                                                                and no one noticed me

                                                                                Tears filled my eyes

                                                                                As my heart silently cried.

Look, Look beyond

                The walls I've Built

                I'm calling out

                                Wanting to be loved

                                Waiting to laugh once Again           

                                                and have a close Friend

                                                wanting to face another day

                                                                waiting for you to see the real me

looking for, someone to Understand

                To just be their, holding my hand

                                and just be

                                                Jesus to me


 

LOST IN THE CROWD

January 29, 1994

 

ONCE AGAIN I STAND, IN THE MIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE

 THEY DON'T SEE ME, IN THE CROWD OF ALL THE PEOPLE

 THEY DON'T HEAR ME,IN THE CROWD OF ALL THE PEOPLE

                I AM LOST IN THIS CROWD

          LOST AND ALONE IN THE CROWD

MY HEART POUNDS, WANTING AND WAITING TO BE LOVED

BUT THEY LEAVE ME STRANDED IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD

ON AN ISLAND DYEING SLOWLY, LIKE THE WATER THEY SURROUND ME

BUT NEVER STOP AND SEE WHATS IN ME.

THEY HAVE LABLED ME AS A MUTE WITH NO WORDS TO SAY

AS STRANGE AND WANTING TO BE ALONE, SO THEY LEAVE ME

                 LOST IN THEIR CROWD,

Lost in the crowd

                        

  D.T.G 94


 

OUT OF FRUSTRATION AND ANGER,

      HURTS OF MEMORIES PAST.

  MY HEART POUNDED AS I WAITED

 FOR A RESPONCSE TO THE AGE OLD QUESTION

 

Why am i here?

Why do I feel so all alone?

Why is everything such a mess?

Why can I not see beyond the cloud of cares?

Why do I even try?

Why can not I stop crying?

Why do I feel like dying?

Why?

Why should of go on living?

Why! Then a small voice called to me Looking into His radiance,

       I saw tears in His eyes once again I asked,

Why? His response so tender and soft answered all my "why's"

 

I called you here...

I will fix your mess...

I will carry our cares, so you can see...

I do see you crying...

I know that feeling, I cried many tears too

I am your Friend, I know,

I know what's it like to die.

It like to die for you

Just you and all your why's

I am Jesus the Way the Truth and the Life...


 

Puddles

It's raining out,

And here at VFCC your bound to find a puddle

Its raining out and I take a walk,

And I watch people as they carefully walk around the puddles

It's so depressing to see puddles that have no one to play with

And I feel sorry, so I jump and splash and have a blast

Its fun to play in a puddle or to just stop, walk slowly through it

 And I am bound to get wet but that's half the fun for

Its only a while that puddles last then there are dried up by the sun

And until it rains again i need to find some other fun.


 

Roller Coasters

Sometimes in life I feel like I am on a roller coaster

I wait in line

In line for what

I get my seat and wait my heart pounds faster and faster

the cars start to roll

here I go with another day....beep...beep ...beep cab plunk I shut off my alarm,

stumble out of bed, now there's no turning back

   N

      O

           W

                 up again I just prayed

                        D

                  O

            W

      N

                 again I am so afraid,

Up again, upside down just going all around

for a second of stillness I feel a swell of illness

I scream I yell no one can tell though as

I smile and say hello

the tides almost over and it

went so fast wonder what I did today but

sit and scream and get really sick( maybe tomorrow I will ride the merry go round? and round and round and

round ahhhh!


 

Shadows

Shadows covers the hurt in the heart of pain -- not yet released to Jesus

shadows covers the tears of past failures which are not yet released to Jesus

Shadows covers the fears of rejection which are not yet released to Jesus

Shadows covers the healing love that has not yet been received by David...


 

So close to the threshold

one day a man come to two doors

He knew where they both led

one door was called death

the other life

he peeked under the threshold of

deaths door looking for the missing peace

of his life even though there was a sign saying

Danger!!

he still touched the door knob and found his hand stuck

he was getting closer and closer to opening this forbidden door himself

he was so close to death so close to perishing as the threshold but

then from the door of life came a man

not an ordinary man

but the SON OF God

He said gently

I already died to free you from our sin,

I am the way, Turn to me

For I have plans for your life

I am your missing peace

I live you

Then I feel at His feet crying and free

At that moment I made a decision to choose life

and to turn away from death and now I have something

to live for and have a new Life in Jesus


 

The sun is shining

The white clouds are rolling

The brisk breeze is blowing....such a nice day out...I am

typing this stupid poem

Now your wasting your time reading it

you could be outside

what are you waiting for this poem is

ENDED

Go out side you silly!


 

Empty seats,

there are always an empty seat next to me?

The Bus to school

The lunch line

The roller coaster's

There is a quiet space right next to my heart?

The dinner table

The movies

The altars, no one willing to stand next to me?

The times of troubles

The lonely hours

The darkness....! Why ...

Why would I forget Jesus sitting next to me

right next to me on the lunch line

right next to me in the roller coaster,

right next to me space close to my heart.

Speaking to me at the dinner table

Speaking to me at the movies ( telling me to go home)

The altar, speaking to me,

Peace be still to never leave or forsake me

in the times of trouble

being a friend

The lonely hours

being a friend just there in the darkness

being a friend to lead me on why would I forget He is by me?


 

They Surround me every day,

I pass them in the hallway,

Even Say Hi what's up?

yet in the crowd I do feel,

just like a shadow, Silent,

the shadow of the crowd, there

Sometimes Seen but,

just the shadow of the crowd,

too often forgotten and alone,

Just the shadow in the crowd,

or hear what's on my mind

the shadow in the crowd

Just the shadow of the crowd


 

The Window

The man sat gazing out the window

wanting to be outside but stuck in,

sitting staring out the window day by day

waiting for the pebbles

to hit the window and someone say

"come out and play"

day by day the pains of the window

grew darker and cold as

the man sat by the window

the light turned to night

his eyes raining with tears

his rist with pain

what would remain

the window was broken

I fell by the window dieing

wondering why you dint just knock on my door

wondering why the shades are down now

and I am gone and your are too late...

Mathew 28:19


 

Unseen feelings

Oh, my lord you see what's deep down inside of me

Oh, Lord you hear, my hidden cry

Oh, Lord you feel the pain I know

Oh, Lord you know

Oh, Lord you know the unseen feelings I ask why what's inside,

What makes me cry?

That makes me feel that I want to die

Why do I hide my cries

Why do I not want to try to be me

Teach me to not hide my feelings

Oh Lord but to give them to you, my Love.

Poems 1996-1997

By David Thomas Gross

 

 

1997

 

Where do I call home?

Is this my home? Can I call this my home?

Is there supposed to be war, when my heart is at peace?

Is there supposed to be hate when you love me so much Jesus?

Is there supposed to be fighting when I did nothing wrong?

Is there supposed to be worry when I have faith in you?

Is there supposed to be loneliness amidst your own family?

Is there supposed to be walls that feel like a prison?

Is there supposed to be divisions that cut like a knife?

 

 

Lord Jesus this is no home it is a house.

I need you to help me to know your will is greater than my families.

You are my peace, you are my hiding place, you are my faith, you are

My home and my source of love. You are my freedom.

Lord I look forward to the day I will be home with you.

 


 

Liberty

Go get them out

They are my people and they are in bondage to the devil

Go get them out, wherever your foot treads it is yours,

No door is too big for me to open, No vision too grand,

When I hold your hand,

Can you hear their cries?

Go get them out, meet there needs,

Behold I have sent many angle's before you.

My People are in prisons with no bars,

They have the right to be free,

But have believed the lies of the devil for years,

Go get them out, bring them to church,

You shall bring bus loads of people who,

Shall be saved, healed and delivered,

They shall have freedom,

When you go do not worry about the locks on the doors,

I will open every door, and if they are locked

Seek my face, I will answer anything you ask in my name

Bring hope, bring love bring me."

Jesus

 


 

His Voice

It is like rushing water

His voice takes my broken heart

And all the pain, my tears washed away by His voice,

When he says, "I love you"

I say, but God look at what I have done!

He answers," Look to my son, His blood removes all you have done"

I ask why do you love me?

His eyes tell the answer

It's in Him that love exists

The proof of this is in the scars that still remain

Scars from my sin bore on Him

His voice speaks when it is quiet,

His word stands when He has not said a thing,

All we must do is listen to,

His voice

God's voice


 

Saying Goodbye

Tears fill our eyes

So we can not see

The things God has for you and me

It is the key to keep a dry eye.

Is there a way to ease the pain?

My eye rain tears

Will I ever be able to say hi again?

Or will the fear of saying goodbye,

Keep my eyes dry

And my heart concealed,

My heart that needs to be healed

I hate saying good-byes

 


 

Little Piece of Sand

On the beach full of sand, one little pebble

Feels all alone,

Longing for a friend to give a hand

This little piece of sand does not feel very grand

Teardrops fill its hands

This little piece of sand is surrounded by

Many other pieces of sand,

Yet it feels like it is stuck

On an Island all alone,

Longing for a home

Time and time again this little piece of sand

Has been broken to bits

Left silently crying mists all of its friends


Wounded Warrior

 

Goes here


 

 

French Fries

My eyes see French-fries off a yonder

My nose found out from my eyes that

My feet are heading toward those fries

My ears hear my feet moving and ask my mouth

To ask my eyes where are we going?

My eyes see the fries and

My nose knows the aroma

My mouth don't know where we go yet

My fingers can just about feel the salt and potatoes

My French fries and I, we finally meet

My feet are stopped

My eyes hear

My nose sniffs

And finally my mouth eats

 

French-fries

 

(only my brain (a small part) would thing of a poem about French fries)

 


 

 

The Price of following Jesus

The glamour of the ministry quickly fades to tears

in the light of the cost of the ministry.

I have left my family, my friends to follow

All that I am belongs to my Jesus

My will

My life

Many are the days of strife

many are the sleepless nights over lost souls

many a friends have deserted

is there a price to high to pay to follow Jesus?

Is there a place to stay outside His will?

That can equal His perfect will?

Will I not leave all at a moments notice?

Will I not go to the ends of the earth to follow you?

and with His strength give me my very life back.

There is a price to pay and Lord today I commit to die to my

self and to follow you help me Lord to pray the price.


 

I don't know what do you?

I don't know what this poem is about

I don't know what, do you know what?

I don't know what, this poem could be about

I don't know what, but I will just start and type

I don't know what rhymes with type, and this is no hype

I don't know what

I just don't know what

if I knew what then I would know what this poem is about

I don't know, do you know?

click I do know I just got it I will wait till

tomorrow to right a poem about something else.

so I do know what now?

now do you know what

ok..............................................................

What?


 

Stinky Shoes

Two pair of shoes,

One belongs to you, one to me

Two pair of shoes,

four feet two are yours, two are mine

Two pair of shoes,

You take off one shoe, I do the same

Two pair of shoes

PU what a stink

Two pair of stinky shoes on the floor,

PU what a stink

Two pair of shoe's and two pair of smelly feet

but with two pair of smelly feet

we can not tell who's is worst


 

So What?

Rain drops on my head

So what

Puddles beneath my feet

so what

My toes are cold

so what

I splash and splash

and have a blast

so what

so what!


 

Stain Glass

No one see's in, the stain glass windows

Everything is just the same as it always was

The same pews and the same people in the same seats

and the same stain glass windows

we only see dark figures on the outside,

we do not see the inside, for if we did we would see what the

world see's dark figures in the inside luke warm.

stain glass window, dare not step on anyone's toes

who knows they might go,

stain glass windows

windows without no rain, just stains of the blood of countless

souls who would not come in, stain windows with no brokenness

are the tearless eyes many of the church see through,

its time to break some windows.


 

No turning left no turning right

His Love compels me on this road that is long and strait

many other roads off me a way out, yet they all lead to deaths deadly grip

I have learned this the hard way,

There is no turning left no turning right,

some day s I have walked and walked followed by death

but trying to keep Jesus in sight.

I will not let fright to cross my path

I will not turn left of turn right

but I vow to keep Jesus in sight.


 

 

When the walls fall

Bound in the cold dark lonely prisons surrounded by walls

walls that I built to keep others out,

walls that ruined out to be the same walls that bound me in.

many have tried to break my walls down

but they only broke my heart down,

Then Jesus came in and at every tear I cried part of a wall

was destroyed,

He set me free,

and not I go to see others set free, to see others healed

and daily I die to myself.

and to the precious Holy Spirit I yield.

When the walls fall Jesus makes people free.


 

Run

Who can run from the living God?

yet he lets his people run and run

and run and run and have there fun

and when they are done they have a choice

a choice to listen to His voice

or to run.


 

Mercy

Goes here


 

Lord Give Me the Words to Say

Lord give me the words to say

when my heart can not find a way

when I do not know what to say

give me the words,

give me the words,

when I can see no way

Lord give me the words to say

for there is no other way


 

Your Strength

Lord I am so weak

my heart does not know how

to let go

Lord you are my everything

nothing else matters

because I am so weak

You are strong

when i do not know how

to let go

you hold me

when I do not know where

to go

you guide me

You are my strength

you are my Jesus

 

I Love you

 

 


The Mountain

What a big mountain

So big you can not see the top

So wide you can't get around it

And here I am with this small seed of faith

Some may say I do not have enough

Some may say it won't work

But its not how big the mountain is

It is how much faith God has given

Some may try to dig though this mountain

Some may try to run from this mountain

But I say in the name of Jesus

Mountain be removed and cast into the sea

 

"Now faith is,

The substance of things hoped for

The evidence of things not seen."

Hebrews 11:1 KJV

 

David T Gross


The name of Jesus

 

At the mention of his name

Demons bow and fall to the gound

In utter fear

 

At the name of Jesus

Sickness goes

And body's made whole

 

At the name of Jesus

People are born again

Into the kingdom of God

 

The Name of Jesus

Is all one needs

 


 

Snow

Snow is cold

Snow is white

But snow is not

Snow is White

Snow is wet

And fun to play in

Lets make a snow person

Snow snow snow

Also a pain

It is cold

Snow ments

Snow balls

Like my face

Snow

Is

OK

Look its snowing out


Empty Eyes

They say the eyes are the window of the soul

And as I sat across from him all I could see was emptiness

There was no sparkle of life, only emptyness of being lost

Tear stained eyes, with a permant strain from the bottle

What could change his eyes I wondered,

Then I remembered a time when I could not see

A time when that was me,

And I received my sight by Jesus

I was blind and empty

Just like my father

And asked His son to take my life

And Holy Spirit to take my will.

And my eyes, He did fill.

 


Only you Lord

I will only rely on you Lord Jesus

All the others I have put my trust in have gone

Never again will that happen

Lord I want you to be my best friend

Only you have what I need

Lord help me to know you

And the power of the cross

Help me to get really close to you

Lord relight the fire onece agaain

The fire when I first met you

Lord hel me to be an example to others

Of how close one can get with you

Lord meake me like you

Use me as a vessle not gold or silver

But a broken one

Smash my will with yours

Help me lord I need you daily

May this year be the great test ever.

I love you

 


Waiting for the rain

Lord in your presence we wait

Lord we pray send your rain

Then we wait

And wait

And wait

And wait

Years later we say

Lord even though we waited for so long

We will not forget your promise to us of rain

Then the ski's break

As we break our will to let His will be done

He Says to me

"its only seconds till my answer is sent

your prayers are already known however

waiting is a skill many need to learn

oh if you would only wait,

I hear your prayers and long to answer them quickly

Do not despise waiting for if you see you shall find

Just wait on me".

 


Where is everyone?

Once again I am left alone

I still wonder how I can feel like this

So many people around me

And yet I feel so all alone

But its when all have gone

That I se I need you

Lord if this is part of

 the price for the anointing

I will pay it with your help.

Lord I cry out to you

I trust you and your promises to me

That you will never leave me

So to you and you alone I cleave

You are all I got

You are my life and my best friend

I love you Jesus

 

Thanks for listening to me again.

 


How can words explain this feeling?

I am at the end of my rope

And I have just let go

And now i am in desperate need of you Jesus

I see my weakness and I cry out to you

Jesus be my source of everything

Lord be my love

Lord be my best friend

Lord I place you first

Above "ministry"

Above all the stuff I do

Above my feelings

Above my desires

Above my life

Jesus touch my heart now

Dig up the places I never let you go to

Here am I, have your way in me

Bring release to me

I love you Jesus

 

Then the word came in a still small voice

I Love you

I am with you, and long to heal you

You are my child,

There are places in your life I want to work on

I am the God that heals

I want to be your best friend

I will never leave you or forsake you

For I see you in a way you have yet to see

And soon you will see too if you let me show you

When you are the weakest I am your strength

When you feel all alone I am with you

When you hurt I am ready to pour in the healing waters

When you are happy in me,

You gain strength,

When you are constantly around people

You miss the intimate time we could have

Get to know me and I will be all to you.

I will show you true love that can not be explained by words

But by me

I love you too

 

 


Does anyone care?

I sit here alone in my room

And where once my best friend sat

I stare

And wonder does anyone care? How I feel

I know all they stuff people say

To try to comfort me

Yet all I want is someone to listen

I don't want preachy answers

Stuff like "it will be ok"

"you will make other friends"

"Life goes on deal with it"

I can not, I never could figure this all out

Why when someone leaves I feel so alone

Just like when my dad left

I don't have words to explain

I know Jesus is here with me

But sometimes it is good to have

Someone with flesh

Who can give a hug

Is this selfish mabe?

I don't care

All I feel is pain

I am hurting and just want someone to care

 


Some say I am too weak

And I am, they are right

Because I have learned

That when I am weak

You are strong in me Lord

Like a sheep you lead me

And Like a lion I long to destroy that devils work

And people are a lion yet they destroy everything but the devils work,

Because they have no gentleness in them

Some people are just lost sheep

Who left the fold and will not be bold

Lord make me gentle as a sheep

But as bold in you as a lion

And Like I lion I will sneak behind enemy's lines

And wait for the time you tell me to leap

Like a lamb, lead me till I die

And wipe the tears from my eye

Help me not to see me as others see me but as you do

 


My time with Jesus

 

 

 


Does Love die?

 

 


My Little shell

 

 

 


So you want to buy my chevy

 

 


Go tell them the good news

 


 

Rain drops falling on my head

 


Poems 2001

My Poems 2001

By David T Gross

 

Drunk as a skunk,

I sink and stink,

It looks so  sweet,

But bites like a snake,

Who has control,

Is the rope that long,

Should I try to find a

Road that I know the end to.

Should I walk a path,

I told others not to walk.

Now that I have,

Can I go home please?

Never let me cut the rope,

God help me, I need you.

Yet I keep on running from You.

They let my go, they let me run.

Now its 3 am,

Drunk as a skunk,

 

 

Razzmatazz

Looking for something ,someone I already had and lost

Lost love, Susan my first love,

When will I feel again, when will I be again.

In love like I was, till I died.

Who lied? Was it I ?

Razzmatazz

I waited, alone with the smell of you

Letting me sleep at night

Thinking what little time we had, every word we said,

Every step we took

Every look we knew.

Razzmatazz

Was it puppy love, was it lust

Was it at all what we said.

Razzmatazz

 

 

A poem that never ends

My life is like a poem that never ends,

It goes on and on like a bunny in a funny

Commercial,  what will be the end,

Two paths walked only one holds the truth.

Its so much easier to go down hill that to face

The mountain of pain, which I know I must face.

The mountain I try to climb under will crush me.

 

Work, sleep, party

God, peace, quiet

 

I shut down to calm the pain of Gods hand trying to heal

Trying to give life, because I wanted to see it, in just one person.

Not in just word, but in deed.

Dizzy, dizzy, spin around and around,

And around, dizzy, dizzy, broke and alone,

Been so hurt its hard to love, been so crushed its hard to

Live.  But I do. Just to be,

I wonder, where, what, how to be real.

Dizzy, dizzy, buzzed, confused, alone.

Where are all those friends who said they would stick like glue.

Why is there more fellowship in a bar then in a church.

This should not be.

Where are those walking the streets, calling the lost sheep home?

Jesus is calling to go Find the lost sheep and get them before its too late.

They are lost confused, dizzy with the things of this life,

Wanting to come home, but just not knowing the way.

 

 

 

"I kicked that map in the river" it was my life

It's easy to get lost in the world, and even harder to get out the world.

We have enough power to win the world.  We just don't bring it with us.

I didn't even see this stuff It's like all around us.

 

Lost sheep tell Me where you are, where are you?

 

 

 

 

 

Its easier to live, a life,  then it is to fight the fight

But in the end, its better to fight. Then live in fright.

Of Gods might.

 

A poem

8/3/01

Clggerets suck big time so do i.

 

8/5/01

Where  is God in my life, where have i run to.  oh how far is it to get home.

--

My friends having left me, alone, cold, my heartbeat fading like the sunset, the pain dulled by hardness of my imbiougousness.

--

Oh what fun, bored hopeless time,

Will i ever be done with school, why so hard to get a little peice of paper, when i know  i am done!

--

government of myself having nonetheless gone out of business willing to settle with God cause i cannot do this no more.

 

--

government of Myself having nonetheless

 gone out of business.

willing to settle with God,

 cause one can not reach deep enough in,

broken, broke, hurt,

 my hardened heart, hurts, each beat.

 

government of myself being overturned

 mind, spirit, body

I can not carry no more, get along!

gone out of business is not an option.

 

 mind- settle down, be still, be whole.

 spirit- trust God, overcome.

 body- be strong,lovable.

 

goverment of my self having none the less

settled with God,is now nonetheless happy.

none of me.

--

where can i go, where can i believe what i knew,

Live the faith so deeply hidden in my wounded soul?

Fight the fight i lost, run the race i fell on, get up and live so i don't die.

--

Death  surrounds me, meaningless is society that has no God,what is the point to live if your dead allready?

--

8/6/01

Waisted time, waisted life, hope fades like a flame without wood, airless existence, devouring dreams, hope, none, everything, nothing .

--

Was a homeless person,  once without a home,  a hope, food, stuff, friends.  The latter being better.

--

To expire my existence seemes good to me, thinking itself i run a race i lost allready, nothing seemes to get better, myself and my thomas heart, wants to quit but itself keeps going. To my admazement!

--

lost anyone there, anyone thinking of me, God must do nothing until i do something, anything.

--

8/8/01

 

cold, feelinless   ,tired of everything, life.

Eat sometimes, hungry all the time,

Fat ugly me, so i see, nothing left of me.

--

Ring ring, ringing, picked up the phone,

There went the tone, of the ringing phone,

Next time don't pick up the phone.

--

8/10/01

Dissy wissy, whatever goes up goes down.

--

8/11/01

Death so close, not to far. Nothing left to hang on to, time will soon end,  for then i will go,

Hope sinking like rainfall on the desolite desert,

My heartbeat like a bell tower will ring no more.

--

Nothing left, The one who loved me, God ?

Where is this love, his people are missing.

One last, chance, i cry out to Him. God?

--

Hurting heart, stop your beating, only pain.

At las i say i want to die!

--

8/12/01

 

No one's home, i want to run just to away.

--

No food, hunger fills my fat belly.

8/13/01

Who dares to care, nothing there.

8/14/01

Running away, you can not see, where you ought to be, or who you ought to be

8/15/01

Dam tooth, holes need fillingsl

8/16/01

Hair cut,braintree ,chopped it off

8/17/01
