Because He Loved
You Enough!
Jesus saw me oneday as He walked by....
Deep within sin my life was dry!
No cares I thought was in my heart....
No need of anything I wanted a part!
Alone I stood and thought I was fine....
But His love I felt even from behind!
His eyes I knew were focused on me....
And suddenly from within I felt my needs!
The filth and sin I felt within.....
The longing I had for just a friend!
His touch was soft and held such peace,
I felt my sins as they began to release!
His blood brought life to every deaden part,
As it ministered to my life and soon reached my heart!
My eyes filled with tears as I wondered why me,
As he softly spoke....Cause Calvery set you free!
You see it was not in vain that I shed life’s blood,
But that day, My mercy was sent from up above!
For I saw your sins and that’s the reason I hung that day,
Because I love you enough not to leave you that way!

Helping Hand
I once knew a lady who sat all alone,
Who’s face was perplexed and had a harsh tone!
Never a smile was upon her face,
She looked as if she was in some disgrace!
I felt her pain as I searched her face,
The tears she held back without even a trace!
Her loneliness I felt deep within my heart,
Why was she hard and so far apart?
Reach out to her, a voice from up above,
She needs to know there is someone who loves!
I heard the whispers from those all around,
The criticism and jokes that had her bound!
Why do they judge from the outward look,
There is something wrong with the cover of this book!
It is full of heart ache, suffering and shame,
She is imprisoned by her very own blame!
Realizing she needs just one to understand,
I approached her and held out my hand!
As the tears fell from her eyes,
She questioned me and ask, Why?
Jesus is Love and He is here,
He wants to wash away your every tear!
He wants to mend that broken heart,
And give you that brand new start!
To cleanse the memories that scare you deep,
To give you hope to plant your feet!
To build you up not tear you down,
To help you begin to break down that harden ground!
As I spoke her smile grew, she said you know I never knew!
That Christ would start my life anew.
My hope was lost and my dreams had gone,
Until you came by and gave my life a new song!
Just a simple hand was all it took,
To open up and view her book!
I watched as she bounced from off her seat,
To stand and deny the devil’s defeat!
Her life had meaning and reason to live,
Just because someone choose to give!
It may not be much the Lords asks to do,
But listen closely because it could be you!!!

The Wounded Soldier
The Spiritual battle is fierce and true.
It can rip and tear the heart in two.
The shot was heard, the pain was felt,
The soldier grabbed his heart as he knelt.
Struggling to continue his battle at hand,
Finally the numbness had taken command.
Crying for help from all around,
The soldier fell lifelessly to the ground.
Blinded by the pain that took his breath,
The soldier cried out for just a short rest.
As the anguish soon brought tears of defeat,
The soldier began to think thoughts of retreat.
The battle looked fatal, as all tried to see,
But the Lord wasn’t quite finished with thee.
As his comrades gathered and fell to their knees,
He heard their cries as they made their pleas.
The battle raged as the prayers increased,
And soon his pain began to release.
Silence fell as the enemy ran,
The adversary knew the Lord had it in His hands.
The comrade’s voices rang out with praise,
As the body of the soldier they begun to raise.
As they carried the soldier from the field that day,
They placed him at the Lord’s feet to stay.
As the soldier looked into the face of the Lord,
He understood the value of war:
His grace gave him hope.
His love gave him peace.
His strength carried him through.
His mercy gave him life.

A Child's Dream
As the memories pierce my mind the tears flood my eyes.
My wounded heart is broken on the inside.
I was bonded to be strong and hard you see,
Never to cry and never to be me.
My face was but a picture false as you know,
Never allowed to really grow.
I existed through my childhood attempting to survive,
My dreams and hopes somehow kept me alive.
I searched for love to heal my heart,
But it always had a price that tore it apart.
I longed for a friend to hold out their hand,
One that could really help me to understand.
I built walls to shield the pain,
But now I’m held captive and have nothing to gain.
I was silenced and urged to let it go,
But it’s not that easy don’t they know.
Someone who could stand and stop my retreat,
Someone to help me to deny my defeat.
I am but a captive within myself,
Struggling to cry for someone’s help.
To break the chains that bind me tight,
Someone who will stand up and fight.
To show me the way that I know is there,
Just someone to show me they actually care.
To see the child that wants to be,
Completely open and really me!

Truly A Friend
A Friend will stay when they are told to leave....
They will speak when they are told to be quite....
They will love when they are hated.....
Because a friend can see the truth within!
A Friend will love no matter the cost....
A Friend will overlook your faults.....
A Friend will love within and not outward....
Because a friend is truly a Friend!

A Loving Friend!
I was hurting and suffering deep within...
And along came a very caring friend!
She felt my pain even though I couldn’t tell....
She saw my tears before they fell....
She saw a need before I spoke....
She reached out to offer Hope!
She grabbed my hand to lead me on...
But met resistance from my very harsh tone!
As the anger built from deep within.....
I lashed out to defend!
My words were cold and hard they hit....
But firmly she stood not even flinching a bit!
Her love was stronger than the anger from within.....
Because she was a caring and loving friend!
She stood as the walls crashed and came tumbling down....
And as the dust began to settle down she finally found!
A frightened child who had been deeply wounded by fear....
With words of love she began to wipe away each tear!
She was lead by love with the Holy Ghost......
As she reached to the uttermost!
She became a friend through the miles we walked....
Her words were of concern and love as we talked!
The miles brought a closeness that strengthened a bond....
And developed a friendship that will continue to grow strong!

I Choose
The Past comes back to haunt me,
The Future scares me two,
Oh Lord please help me,
For I know not what to do.
To step ahead means I must face,
All my past and it’s disgrace.
The future holds my many mistakes,
But also it’s a chance I feel I must take.
The pain I know will be hard to bare,
But I know you are there and you really care.
To step backwards now I know is wrong,
To step ahead means growing strong.
But can I push onward through,
Or will I fail and break completely in two?
My heart longs to be free of fear,
And my eyes want to wash away their tears.
So the forward step I choose to take,
Because If I don’t my heart shall surely break.
I’ll leave my past behind me and start my life anew,
Because no matter what’s ahead Lord
I know you’ll see me through.

Night has Fallen
The Night has fallen and no one is here,
Lord....please help me to understand my fear!
The pain is fresh within my mind...
I feel as if I need somehow to unwind!
The dreams are real I feel their touch...
The scares are fresh and it hurts so much!
My cries are useless as no one hears...
They just become my bitter tears!
My anger grows as I fight it’s pain...
Because I know there is something I can gain!
Help me Lord I beg thee still....
Somehow to reach out and begin to feel!
I need your love to see me through...
Just someone to trust and to me be true!
To end the pain I bare this night....
To stand up and end this fight!
The past is old and gone you see...
But the feelings are still fresh with in me!
To bare my pain and walk me through...
To help me understand what to do!
To find the child who cries at night...
To end the pain that isn’t right!

They there to help you grow in my love....

Blessed
One weekend I saw my brother but to busy to say hello!
Thought....next visit I'll call or see the old fellow!
But the call came to me and the news rang out!
Randal was dead without a doubt!
Just a minute is all it would have took for a hug or to give a smile!
He only needed a second and never took a mile!
It doesn't take hours to make a day or cheer a heart!
But just a simple gesture to give a day brighter start!
But the time has gone the chance has passed!
Never again I'll see his laugh!
My friend is gone and his memories are all that is left!
Because I couldn't take time to say how much I was blessed!

My Special Friend/
Heartmender
My Special Friend!
by Timothy Rimmer
From my Husband before we were married
One day I gave a brand new heart,
To someone I thought was true.
But then she gave it back to me,
Broken half in two.
I tried putting it back together,
With needle, thread, and glue.
But none of these things seemed to work,
So now I’m leaving it up to you.
I did everything I could,
To get it back into one piece.
But it’s going to take someone like you,
To patch it up for keeps.
That’s why I am giving it to you,
Cause your my special friend.
So take this broken heart of mine,
And see if it will mend.
And after time has drifted by,
If I find it broken still,
I’ll have to bid you sweet adieu,
Because it was not God’s will.
So do the best you can,
To mend this broken heart for me.
Cause if you have to give it back,
It will stay broke eternally.
Heartmender
By Yvonne Gates Rimmer
My answer to My husbands beautiful poem!
You gave me your heart because it was special to you,
But it was tattered and torn and broke half in two.
You wanted me to mend it and make it better,
So maybe oneday we could both be together.
With complete love and trust in my hands,
I took your heart and began to make plans.
I fell to my knees and began to pray,
Dear Lord, Please show me the way.
The Lord told me not with needle or thread but with love,
Not with glue but with His grace from up above.
So now I have your heart that is like new,
But instead I am sending mine back to you.
So now our friendship can began to grow,
And our true feelings can began to show.
So together our hearts can begin to heal,
And once again we can learn how to feel.
So with the Heartmender (Jesus) in our hearts,
No matter the distance we’ll never be apart.
Because as long as you have a friend in me,
We will always be together until eternity!

The Foundation of Truth
Truth is integrity inside one’s self......
Honesty, virtue, morality must be taken
from off the old dusty shelf......
Hidden within lies that seems so innocent to say......
But then reality stands up and begins to portray.....
The ugliness that deceit will play.....
As a lie will surely begin to decay.....
For it’s foundation will surely not stand......
Nor will it offer a helping hand.....
For pain will be all that it will gain.....
For the hurt will have no restrain......
Though loneliness will surely show.....
It soon two will have a devastating blow.....
For a lie may seem harmless at first.....
But Ohhhhhh.......what such a terrible thing to birth......
So think before you speak a word today......
Isn’t honestly the only true way......
For it’s love and sincerity will find the heart......
The innocence will long to be a part......
For the truth is where we must begin.....
It will build a trustworthy and loyal friend....
For a honorable friend will speak the truth and so boldly stand......
Because they surely understand......
For a lie will destroy all that is within......
But the Truth will build everlasting Friends!!!!!
