As a teenager I kept a diary. Sometimes it’s fun to look back at my teenage life and to read the things that I was worried about,rejoicing in or passionate about. I used to write poetry. IT didn’t matter whether I was good or bad at it. I did it because I enjoyed it and it was a great way of getting my inner thoughts or feelings out. It’s fun to read over my poems again. I thought it might be fun to share some of my old poems here. I’m not claiming that they are great or even share worthy but they are just a glimpse into my inner self. So here goes…
Jesus’s Love written by Jodi Corby on 2/9/97 age 17
Pencil shavings
Shaved off with a knife
Just like the years
Shaved off our life
The pencil gets shorter
The years role on by
Our lives getting shorter
Destined to die
Still we live on
Taking each day
Where have we gone wrong
We’re destined to pay
To die is our part
In the result of sin
So open your heart
And let Jesus in
He’ll fill the part
That was made just for him
And you’ll live forever
So put on a grin
Repent and be glad
Your life will not end
Never be sad
Cause He’ll be your friend
He guides and He loves
So you don’t have to pay
He already does
When he died on that day
A day that was sad
And full of tears
But he never was bad
All through those years
So now we must be thoughtful
And live our lives proud
That Jesus was merciful
And will come in the clouds
In the clouds way up high
I’ll meet Him there
So never cry
Cause He really does care
He cares very much
What goes on below
If only we could touch
I’d never be low
So as your life goes on by
And you accept the white dove
Remember never to cry
‘Cause you have Jesus’ love!
