Well the ocean is lonesome,
When it doesn't have a voice
And maybe I'm the only one who's noticed,
Perhaps it was by choice,
That even trees get lonely,
When they lose their joy.
Take me to the river,
Drown me in your grace.
Toss me in the water,
But help me finish this race.
Whisper in my ear,
All the things you want me to hear.
I'll do anything, You know.
Just to have You near.
Walk me through the fire,
Help me shine brighter.
I'll go through anything, You know.
Just to have You near.
I've started to realise,
That it's not You who struggles to hold on,
It's me.
So put me through the embers,
Of a blazing past.
And walk me on the water,
Past the ship's rolled up mast.
I'll do anything, Jesus.
Just to have You near.

So beautiful Daisy! I love the theme of nature in this poem and the message was so wonderfully delivered.
Thank you!! This made my day!
Oh, I love it. It’s so calming and I’m dying to put it to a piano melody…
That would be cool….
That would be amazing!
Thank you so much!! I actually heard a tune with it and had to translate it from a song into a poem XD I saved the tune around here somewhere, but I don’t know how to write music, sadly.
Lol I haven’t been on kp in a couple days, but it took me ten minutes and I have the melody. BWAHAHAHAHA YOU CAN’T STOP ME!!
Whoops, sorry. Lil bit tired. If you wanna pic of the sheet music, I can figure out a way to send it to you!

HAHA XD Girl, I would actually love that!! My email is authordaisytorres.1@gmail.com if you’d like to send it! I know a teensy bit about reading it, so if it’s simple enough I can play it and hear what you think it sounds like XD I’m actually super curious if we’re hearing the same tune…
Ooh! Awesome!
