I wonder if He knows what I was like before He came

I wonder if He knows that my life was full of shame

I wonder if He knows just where to put the blame

I wonder if He knows of the change that’s taken place

I wonder if He knows who would want to plead my case

I wonder if He knows how much I need His loving grace

I wonder if He knows what through my eyes I see

I wonder if He knows what each of us will be

I wonder if He knows what He has done for me

I wonder if He knows for me it’s not a game

I wonder if He knows I’ll never be the same

I wonder if He knows my spirit never will be tame

I wonder if He knows I gave my soul to Him

I wonder if He knows the futures getting grim

I wonder if He knows our chances are so slim

I wonder if he knows all things both good and bad

OH YES, I’m sure He has ever since He was a lad

For God knows all things both the happy and the sad.

Awesome work. I love to watch how you're blooming as a writer. Loved the following lines:

I wonder if He knows for me it’s not a game

I wonder if He knows I’ll never be the same

I wonder if He knows my spirit never will be tame

Thank you very much for your kind words. I can't just write everyday, they have to be God sent so just when he wants it written, he sends me the words.

You're doing way better than me. I've been in a writing funk for over a month. I guess I've just let other things distract me. Things are always coming to me as I'm out and about. I really should carry around a notebook.

Looking forward to your next verses, Jan. Lora, you need a little tape recorder to carry with you so you don't miss any thoughts you want to hold on to.

Love to you both! I'm off to Phys training.

Nice work Miss Cleo, good read, keep on writing!

God Bless.

Miss Thena,

LOL oneagleswings...I am the trainee not the trainer and she is tough on me.

First time back after eye surgery.

You guys are the greatest. Lora, I always think of stuff when I have no where to write it down. Sometimes I jot it on napkins or whatever, but I think I will take Thena's advice and carry a notebook everywhere I go.

Me too. I must remember to get one next time I'm at the store.

Subject: Re: I Wonder Fri Nov 18, 2011 4:39 pm

I used to keep one in the bathroom, in the car and in my purse.

I've gone back to this several times...but I can't help wondering when you will post another short story?
Been looking forward to it!

God Bless.
