Still writing spiritual poems because that is where my heart is these days. God has been good to me and I am very grateful. I Follow In His Footsteps I follow in His footsteps As a way so I can see, The path He’s laid before me That is there to set me free. A freedom only He can give That is placed upon my soul. Knowing that if I obey He’ll surely make me whole. A chance worth taking I think, For some peace and serenity. To be doing good for Jesus, Is the path I want for me. So forward in my actions, A life to be glorified, The rewards will be endless Upon earth and when I die. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 10/20/13 |
My life is going really well right now. No complaints. I am finally seeing the true side of my sponsor. He is more unhealthy than I am. I have no respect for him anymore and he should not be a sponsor. I am weaning myself off of him and will separate all together. The poem below is my opinion of how a non-believer is and lives. The Non-Believer My prayers are for the people Who are wandering without hope, Who have yet to find a purpose, And who find it hard to cope. They stand there feeling empty, And at times they don’t know why, Their heart and soul have no life, For God is easy to deny. They rely upon themselves, And have no such relief, They’re selfish and self-centered, Because they’re lacking in belief. Their own happiness is based, On those things which they can touch, They’re proud of their material things, And don’t like themselves that much. It’s loneliness that plagues them, As their heart turns into stone, Without a strong foundation, They will often feel alone. If only they would try and see How much better life could be, If they’d surrender to the highest, Then they’d finally be set free. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 10/10/13 |
God has been there for me. Through thick and thin. This poem lets one know that he is there for you too. There For You When times are tough and you have fear, Know that God is always near. He’s here to help and guide you through, Just know that choice is up to you. Having faith won’t keep him far, For he knows just where you are. Trust in Him and all He’ll do, For His love is meant for you. A guiding light throughout your day, And even closer when you pray. Trust these words I say to you, Because He’s been there for me too.

Trying to do the right thing. I can do this now that I'm not in active addiction. To Do The Right Thing With temptation all around me, I still choose to do what’s right, For the treasure I am seeking, Can be found where there’s the light. The light that’s been my guidance, And it’s what I move towards, I favor doing right by God, For he brings me just rewards. I try hard to be truthful And to live my life complete, I walk the way my Lord would go, For He’s the one I want to meet. For my sins I place before him, He forgives them everyday, I repent them all with much regret, Confessing them as I pray. But most of all I’m happy, To do the best that I can do, I do all this and more for Him, Because I love Him too. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 10/2/13 |
Words Of Healing Blessings come through raindrops While healing comes through tears, The hardest part is over, There is nothing more to fear. Here’s hoping you’ll feel better And will soon be on your way, You are missed so very much, Each day that you’re away. To me you’re someone special And I’m really glad we met, You’re a kind and giving person, With a smile I can’t forget. So get back on your feet now, You’re in my thoughts and prayers. These words I say unto you, As your friend because I care. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 9/24/13 |
Toxic Friendship I hang my head in silence So I won’t get hurt no more. A friend is simply not a friend, When abuse lingers at the door. I gave her many chances But the chances now are gone. She dropped me as a friend again, And to her I did no wrong. To her I send my blessings, For I’m done, finished, for sure. I’m much better on my own, So her pain I don’t endure. Dysfunctional is the addict, With defects a mile long. In time I will get through this, Only to enable me more strong. A friend she has never been, I’ve been fooled beyond compare. I will pray that she gets better, Despite the fact I don’t care. This lesson I can’t seem to get, For my sanity I must move on. She’s yet to know the true meaning, Of friendship before it was gone.

Love is great when you found it. It has a feeling no one else can explain. The love for others is great. Without love you feel nothing. Sparkling Through The Eyes Of Love Sparkling through the eyes of love What a wonderful place to be. Shining through the things I do Shows much love inside of me. Helping others one by one Is a way to make them smile. My helping hands and open heart, Will make this all worthwhile. Happiness is felt throughout During times when love prevails. It’s a special kind of magic, That will tip all of the scales. Something that is felt throughout, It’s amazing how love grows. It has beauty like a rainbow, That sneaks upon you so. Sparkling through the eyes of love For to give you must receive. Love is true and memorable, If in love you do believe. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 9/2/13 |
Still writing a bunch of spiritual poems ever since I had that spiritual healing. I feel grounded spiritually. Heaven Through My Eyes Across the spacious light blue sky I feel as though I can fly, To reach heaven up above, A special place where there is love. Through my own eyes I can see The gratitude of being free. Somewhere up there in the sky, Questions answered no more whys. My soul will show me the right way, To where I’ll go and where I’ll stay. A day I long for in my heart To be at peace and never part. To hear the angels sing their songs This is where I do belong. There before Him I do stand, He reaches for me with His hand. Comforts me and gives me love, Now I’m with the Lord above. Heaven is the place for me, One day soon I hope to see. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 8/30/13 |
I haven't cried for years. I am blocked and my heart is dry. One day I will cry like the ocean. Tears I Cannot Cry A single tear I cannot cry Just because my heart is dry. Emotions not connected, Were simply misdirected. Surrounded by a wall I built, To hide my own shame and guilt. Vulnerability means attack, For no one here has my back. Greetings from my feelings Who indeed need some healing. One day a tear I’ll cry, For now they’ve all gone goodbye. Let my heart feel once again. Cry out loud for where I’ve been. Connect my spirit, soul and heart, To cry the tear that’s far apart. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 8/28/13 |
