Can't Get Enough of You

Submitted by Joy J. on Sun, 10/21/2018 - 20:06

What do I do, when I simply feel
Like I can’t make it myself,
I need help, and I know You’re real,
When that deep yearning I know I felt.

My soul searches and strains
To deeply feel, and know
To see beyond the pain
That Your love to me You would show.

But then what do I do, when I’m filled
With great joy and life,
When Your goodness shines
Above all doubt and strife?

When sincerely I see
That You are everything,
Evry’thing I’ll ever need,
And I’m under Your wings.

No matter which side
Of the emotions I feel,
Whether I’m full of life
Or when I’m broken and I kneel

Your goodness, love, and strength!
Is so amazing and true!
That though I’m with you at length
I can’t get enough of You!

A beautiful piece of poetry that conveys a lot of truth. Really hit close to home too, because that's been something I've been struggling with recently. Kudos to you! I enjoyed it. :)
