i ran, full force, away from you i hid behind every bush and tree but now there is nowhere else for me to run, for me to hide. what amazes me is that you were still there one step ahead of me knowing where to find me you were still there calling out to me longing to be close to me i have put up too many walls and now they all surround me i have built my own prison cell and it is not too far from hell what amazes me is that you are still here knocking down my walls showing me a way out you are still here calling out to me longing to be close to me now i run, full force, to you now i hide you in my heart now there's nowhere else to go but towards you what amazes me is that you never left me even though i ran even though i hid you never left me now i've answered your call and i'm drawing close to you now you have crused my walls now i'm surrounded by your love now i'm free from my prison and you saved my from my hell what amazes me is that you never left me even through stone walls even through cell doors you never left me now i've answered your call and i'm drawing close to you hey everybody -- i haven't posted in a while, but this one just came to me (you know how that happens) and anyway -- it's still kinda ruff around the edges so if you have ANY suggestions or corrections i would love to hear from you. thanx -- pharon -- |

Dear Pharon; Don't change one word of this incredibly beautiful poem! This comes directly from your heart, that's obvious, therefore it's perfectly yours. I loved the way you portray God as always pursueing us with His passionate love, because that's exactly what He does! Thank you. Ellie 02 |

Dear Pharon, You have your own special style and a fanastic message here. I know I couldn't have written it any better, any clearer-You hit at the heart--it seems from the fall in the garden to the modern walls of rejection that is thrown up against the very best friend we have--I am thankful for you that your Journey has brought you to that blessed oneness and blessed fellowship of a Loving caring seeking forgiving- & joy-giving God! God bless you, David [This message has been edited by deleeme (edited 04-25-2000).] |

I agree, from the heart, it doesn't get any better than that! It hit home with me, He can break through any wall, if only we let Him in. ![]() <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind, Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, "What Would Jesus Do?" |

Pharon~ I wouldn't tamper with YOUR thoughts, as they come from your heart. (one small typo perhaps .. 'now you have crused my walls' I'm realatively certain you meant crushed) Bless you .. seems you are on the 'up' side of the mountain. ![]() ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I really know this road well. I think you did a great job. He is amazing! And we can be so amazingly crazy and stupid and he's still there. Keep writing! Sincerely, Rwood |

my friend, you tell the story all too well.yor words remind me myself as i chased the treasures of this world further and further away from him. now i am left with walls he has crushed, but still i must climb over the rubble. it would've been so much easier had i halted and submitted to him before i ran so far. excellent metaphors. clear visualization qualities and the andeniable force of conviction to back it up. great work. |

pharon, I think you have done a great job putting this sernario into poem. I certainly can relate to various parts myself, only to find He never left me, it was I who had left him, just as your poem said. Guess that is where the poem, "Footprints" originated from, when He was/is caring us. So good when we feel His presence again, isn't it? God Bless Marcy |
