Poem -
On God's Consideration
When I consider what God has done for me
I want to give of myself
I wish to weep so happily
That it hurts me deep inside
And yet
I cannot forget myself
For I am weak and filled with carnal thoughts
That crowd their way
Into my prayers,
I feel ashamed that I am not stronger
At least
Not strong enough
To master my own thoughts
To do good works for my neighbor
And to spread this humility
I feel,
When I consider the almighty
I want to tell the world
That my Love for you
Is boundless
I will be your forever spokesperson
From this moment forward
And for this
The magical reminder
Of the entirety,
Of my life...
Tony Taylor

My dear Brother Poet Tony,
Yet, God knew this all, long before you did. He knew how you suffered, but he finds you not weak, but strong, and those carnal thoughts? He created them with His first man, Adam. He feels your love for Him, just as you feel His love too. So He begs of you, from this moment forward, embrace what He has placed at your doorstep, and enjoy it for the entirety of your life.
Peace, Love and Rockets,

Dear Tony,
It is you who honors me by taking such fastidious efforts to respond to my comments. When I read your's and Cherie's poems, they take me to far away places, where I bask in their beauty.

I love this but have to confess that my overriding feeling was "If only it were that simple." I feel envious of your complete faith in your beliefs. I have been baptized and try to live a purposeful life but I can't lose my underlying sense of unease at the thought of accepting, unconditionally, total acquiescence to a unknown entity. Sorry, I digress lol. Beautifully written and incredibly thought provoking. Excellent work Tony. Donna aka pineapple ?
I LOVE this comment DONNA!!..... honesty works!!..... we all have our own way of greeting our (most individually purposed) deaths...... and the quandary of it is..... and will always will be...... the unknown, mystical, questioning of life's purpose....... whether you choose to color your particular death in relation to a God or a darkened end doesn't really matter..... the hard, cold, fact is...... we die...... and how we choose to greet our demise...... is everything!!...... thank you for this gentle reminder my friend........ God bless you...... smiles.....T xo. ?
Phew ? so glad I didn't offend or upset you lol. I just read it again and it still stirs something deep down inside me. Excellent work my friend. Donna xo
Thanx DONNA!!...... you could never upset or offend me...... unless you said bad things about the DALLAS COWBOYS!! (smiles)........thanx for coming back to this one...... you're too cool!!.......hugs-n-high fives!!........T xo. ?
Tony
congrats on the nod... wish I could feel the warmth you felt when writing this piece you described it brilliantly you are an example to follow

And so are we ALL my friend!!..... we all have cause and effect on everything and everyone we encounter.......thanx so much for taking the time to come my way brother poet!!..... I appreciate this very much LUKE!!......I know how time is on COSMO!!...... high fives!!.....Txo. ?
Wow thanks T-Rex.that was moving even to me as I struggle in this area of life a lot. I go through different obstacles in life which leave me doubting everything Ivever thought I knew to be glory. Then I struggle to make it back because the guilt that I feel inside. The shame. It bickers inside my mind and I push it all away. This poem reminded me that I am not alone in this struggle. Thank you for bringing that to light. We are all "sinners"
No worries MATTHEW!!..... apologies, for the lateness in replying....... but I am SO with you on this...... it's not so easy dealing with "Time Passing"...... it's complicated..... but they tell you, when you're younger, that it gets easier........ truth is (for me)....... its only been recently that I've turned the corner on the age of perceptions........ where words and thoughts ....have become easier and much more crystalline........ perhaps it's my age or perhaps, its been the strangely complicated path...... not sure...... but I DO know that all things evolve...... and so I pray that your lot in this life becomes easier for you my friend...... and recall for yourself how much better things look after serious trials and tribulations!!......the "Circle of life!" right!?...... smiles...... anyway, Thanx so much the amazing comment brother poet!!...... peace....... ttyl......T xo. ?
You raise much for humanity here Tony
in our heads we are invincible sexual animals
in our hearts we are pulled this way and that
yet in our souls we are God's creatures and lest we forget our true nature and our values to speak of before the Lord; the Ten Commandments is written for a reason!
Love a poem that has depth as yours has had for me at this moment.
Luv Jai:)
Indeed!! Thanx so much JAI MASTERS!!...... the path to understanding...... in its intricacies and diversity....... is a most difficult undertaking!!....... smiles......thanx for this brother poet!!....... ttyl........T xo. ?
Just cruising my way through everything I missed since early December! I love this write. I'm still young and tend to question my beliefs all the time, kind of because I have two sides of myself that tend to quarrel with each other if that makes sense, but whenever I read on of your writes like this it gives that one side of me more ammo to fire at the other. Lovely write :) yet another pinned

Wow!! Thanx LILY!!.......I can't believe you went back and found this...... I've been off COSMO for a few days..... so sorry it took so long to reply........ you've found one my personal favorites here....... I'm so glad it gave you some extra ammo my friend....... it's so nice to find another Cosmo family member just doing it for the sake of doing it and appreciating what its form has to offer...... so glad you're around sister girl!!....... smiles......T xo. ?✳?✴☀
