Past & Present



Life is tough, and people come and go
Distress and despair, they're twisted with ego
Staring straight ahead, that blank space in between
The quiet before the storm, the turmoil that can't be seen.

Staring straight ahead, my wandering mind wonders
Where are You amongst this, will You quench this thirst?
Water my soul, and salve my pain
I beg You, O Lord, to take away this shame.

Messengers, sometimes, they tend to go round the bend
No one is perfect, they take the wrong end
The letters they carry, genuine they are
The road is tough though, not many get far.

Forgiveness and love, versus bitterness and hate
Which shall consume you? Will your spirit then sate? 
The tug-of-war, it's a painful fight to win
Give Jesus the victory, watch Him banish all sin.


I don't usually reveal my poems to many people, but this little minute-magic up here(this means I just randomly put it together in the last few minutes) is dedicated to many people in my life.
To the friend who suffers
To the friend who is judged
To the friend who has been inflicted
To the friend who is down and out
To everyone who needs a little spiritual encouragement.

And finally, to myself. Yes, me too. 

Everyone needs a helping hand out there. 
God bless y'all.

- Esther
