Lighthouse poetry: Write a poem on a specific way you could please Him.
Listen...
Though it's hard to do,
I try, I fight. Listen to You.

Obey...
It feels not in my nature,
to just 'roll over'; nomenclature.

Believe...
Easier said than done.
Truth is: I feel I need a human one.

Listen,
I can hear you, just a bit.
Under their guidance; I pause, I sit.

Obey,
Ok, (I) see what you mean;
I'm to be jobless, I should be clean.

Believe,
Sure, (I) guess I am secure,
I won't starve, but ultimately: un(in)s(ec)ure.

Listen.
There's no other way,
to hear what You would have to say.

Obey.
I'm here. Do as you will;
mysteries can be a thrill.

Believe.
I know I'm weak, but You are strong,
You never left me all along.
