All I Want…

Poetry 2 Minutes

My heart comes seeking, but my soul doing the asking. Not to fill a wish list, but to have a heart filled… with more Your love. All I want, all I will ever need; an overflow of Your presence, within my soul. Every day, is another moment to face. But every moment, another day I get a look… into Your heart. My soul is fixed on Your love, never fixated on my circumstance. Within Your love, there’s a calm, within Your presence so much peace. Even though the world has become so cold. Etched within the very fabric of Your heart, wrapped up in the essence of Your love. How the fire keeps burning, when the storms of life is raging. I don’t fear the future, for underneath my every breath. Your love is the whisper in my heart, the love that fans the flame… within my soul!

The Poetry, within every eMotion. Every day, the old passes away, and every new day; Grace is again my portion. Hope found, in a love that abounds. A love that’s king of my heart, Lord over my soul. Why I don’t stress, why I know I’m truly blessed; even though life’s still a mess. Every day is a test, and every day I will give the best… of me. A heart focused, not allowing life to be a weight unbearable. Even though the problems of today, race ahead to become a part of my tomorrow. Even though trouble, seek a way into my mind. Impenetrable, is not the walls I build up today. But it’s in the resolve, to always allow Your love. To besiege my soul, let Your heart forever be my fortress. To focus my heart on one thing, Your love. The gift Your love gives, true contentment for my soul!

I’m not asking for anything, Your love has already given so much. My heart doesn’t have a desire to get stuff. All I want, all I need. A soul that always has a desire, to be full of passion, and the purest of love for You. So, if You can close Your eyes to my failures, and see just my heart. Your love is why my soul sings, the only thing my heart wants to speak. Just like Solomon, I would rather have wisdom; to govern my own thoughts. Be like David, a man after Your own heart. To move You forever, not with words, but with my heart, and soul. What I’m trying to say, what my heart is trying to make known. More than life, more than even my breath. All I Want, to just love on You, and give my heart to You… forever!

  8. These are beautiful words approaching Christmas when peoples focus are on gifts for themselves. I want for nothing but peace and love, especially quiet. I feel the love of Our Heavenly Father and this feeds my desires. I long for nothing but peace and for people to learn how to live peacefully and respectfully with each other. Blessings to you Warren.

  11. I immediately started to hum “All I Want” by Michael W. Smith when I saw the title.

    “Just like Solomon, I would rather have wisdom; to govern my own thoughts.” I am currently working on this. It’s a work in process daily. May God bless you always.
