Heart&Soul: The Well

Until I find some new inspiration I'll be posting some older poems...

Someone help!

Susie’s trapped in the Well!

Well, to hell with Susie, let her stay there and dwell,

She knew the consequences way before she ever fell!

Everybody warned her what would happen if she strayed.

They preached about it, teached about it, all of her days.

But Susie decided to see what was the hype,

She had always been the “find out for yourself” type.

And though she knew better,

Her mother had taught her,

She just couldn’t resist “just testing the waters”

But the crazy thing was—

When Susie got trapped in,

Her father was there—he knew it would happen.

He pulled her right out, and gave her a hug,

And wrapped her in the warmth, of a fathers love.

But, Lord! Save me!

I fell in the well.

Im a lot like Susie, in case you can’t tell.

I knew I belonged, above those dark waters,

But fighting temptations proved to be harder.

Spent my whole life, looking in from the outside

I only knew the beach, but wanted to feel the tides.

Fell from the Word, so full of dismissing,

Its not always fun, being a teenager AND a Christian,

Opportunity knocked, there was no resisting,

“theres no way in Hell, I wont see what Im missing”…..

--And well, when I fell to dwell in that Hell,

He picked me up, dried me off, like I never fell.

It was all in His plan, he knew that He’d save me,

Cause where is the faith, when there’s no testimony?

Despite when we stray, one thing that holds true—

We are made stronger when we’re made a-new.
