[hometext] => This is a poem I wrote after a recent failure. Its good to remember that no matter how many times I mess up, my God is always willing to forgive and help me back to my feet. :)
[bodytext] => How many times must I fall? Before I can learn to do what it takes- How many times must I crash? Before I will learn to use these breaks? How many times must I fall? Before I can learn to stop failing my King- How many times must I call? Before I hear more than my own voice, echoing? I'm defenseless- It's relentless. This Darkness is pressing down on me- I resent this- But I can't repent this. When will I learn to stop failing my King? How many times must I fall? Before I learn to stand on two feet- How many times must I try? Before I can learn to overcome this defeat? Maybe THATS my problem here- Maybe I've been cursed. Maybe I really CAN'T do it on my own- Maybe I've been doomed from my birth. Or maybe I've just been asking the wrong question... How many times MUST I fall? Before I will learn to accept a hand up- How many times MUST I fall? Before I discover I CAN'T climb this wall? How many times MUST I fall? Before I learn to finally get help- How many times MUST I fall? Before I realize I CAN'T do it all? I don't have the answers, but... How many times must I learn? That every time I fall is just another chance- How many times must I learn- That falling's just a tumble into God's open hands. So how many times must I fall? As many as it takes.
