Weekend Words & Sunday Stanzas – 03/04/2012

Please do not think this poem is a commentary on autistic children. However, it can be seen as a cry of a repentant sinner, and that all people, including autistic children, have potential for growth and change. We must remember, however, that there is only so much we can do as humans. The rest is entirely dependent on God.

change me

A change is being made
deep inside my heart
A change that is ripping
my soul and body apart
It reaches down inside
to the depths of me
It reaches way deep down
to meet all of my needs
This change fills me with
a nagging hunger
This change brings to me
knowledge of the Word
So, Living Word come
show what you are about
Holy Living Word come
help me love it out
I need You in my life
to help remove my doubt
I need You in my life
to change me inside out

Taken from deeper words for God from a simple man of God by daniel m  klem, page 45.

Autistic poems

My last post was not the only thing to come to mind while at the Rock & Worship Roadshow. Two acrostic poems also came to mind. This week, you get more poems! You are so fortunate!

AUTISTIC CHILD

Amazing life
Unexpected blessing
Totally capable, yet
In need of assistance
Simple in understanding, with
Tremendous potential
Inate curiosity
Curiouser approach to life

Childhood made difficult
Hindered, but not stopped
Inhibited, but empowered
Lovable and
Deserving of our love

AUTISTIC FAITH

Ability in Christ for good, but
Underperforming faith
Trying in our own power
Insufferably fighting,
Struggling against God, yet
Trusting His hands
In need of His grace
Comforted by His voice

Forgiven completely, but
At times we forget
In need of His help with
Taking up our cross
Healing only if we trust Him
