squirt i am adding one of my own poems that i wrote a few ywears back...i think it fits well here

I AM ALIVE! by Ken Courneyea

I HAVE FELT THE FIRE OF PASSION
I HAVE FELT THE COLD ASHES OF A LOVE GONE BAD

I'VE FELT THE PAIN OF LOOSING A CLOSE FRIEND
I'VE FELT THE LOSS, MADE ME SAD

I'VE SEEN DAYS I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET THROUGH
I'VE SEEN NIGHTS THAT NEVER SEEMED TO END

I'VE FELT THE SUN'S WARMING RAYS ON MY FACE
I'VE FELT THE RAIN'S CHILLING EFFECT THROUGH MY SKIN

I'VE SEEN THE NORTHERN LIGHTS DANCE ACROSS THE SKY
I'VE SEEN SUNSETS THAT MADE ME CRY

I'VE FELT THE AGONY OF LOOSING CONTROL OF MY LIFE
I'VE FELT DEPRESSION I COULD CUT WITH A KNIFE

I'VE FELT THE JOY OF LAUGHING WITH MY FRIENDS
SURE HOPE IT NEVER ENDS

I AM ALIVE!

I WROTE THIS POEM ONE DAY WHILE GOING THROUGH A CHEMO TREATMENT.
I SURE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. IT'S FUNNY WHAT RUNS THROUGH A PERSON'S MIND WHEN LIFE MIGHT END SOONER THAN ONE EVEN THINKS

He carved them on the tablets made of stone
A glimpse of holiness - His measure shown
To teach us that there isn't anyone
Whose righteous in His sight except the Son.

Perfection, nothing less, the Law demands
A burden and a curse are its commands
To keep them all but fail in only one
You break the whole and prove yourself undone.

He came to us a light unto the earth
To tell us of God's love and of our worth
His life fulfilled the Law, He broke not one
Lamb slain for all, the curse has been undone.

So blind, receive your sight and sing His praise
He paid your debt, be thankful all your days
Lift grateful voices high to heaven's throne
The Law's now in your heart not carved in stone.

Here I stand at the foot of the cross
and behold a tragic sight.
I watch with horror in my heart
as day turns into night.

A man with nail- pierced hands and feet;
crown of thorns upon his brow,
His body so striped and bloody,
what more could they do now?

Lamb of God, Son of Man, Messiah,
God's only Son.
I look at all those gathered here;
My God, what have we done?

A sense of shame pervades my soul,
"He's innocent! " I cry.
What can I do to save the Lamb
who died for such as I?

The crowd hurls insults at the man,
derision in their cry:
"Son of God! King of the Jews!
Come Down, let's see you try. "

But Jesus, He stayed on that cross,
Compassion in His eye;
"Forgive them Father, for they know not! "
was his impassioned cry.

A righteous God; He had a plan,
for death was the demand.
As Satan had filled this world with sin
and infected all of man.

With Love, such Love, He sent His Son
To Earth for Him to die;
To redeem the lost, the sinful, and yes,
to rescue you and I!

This story has not ended yet,
He conquered death and sin.
And Satan, well he has no hope,
'cause He'll fight him and He'll win!
