Poems by Allissa Thornburg

Is God still showing me love
As He looks down from above?
He silently sheds a tear
as He longs to be near.
To be His child is my true calling,
So why am I continually falling?
The sinners eternally cry,
For their broken wings just cannot fly.
Now I long to change...that's what I say,
But why is it that I won't pray?
What is it going to take
To finally make me break?
Where is that longing fire
That showed my true heart's desire?
What will be the final cost
If I forever am lost?
I still am crying out to be free,
But is this my heart's true plea?
I have it all right in front of me,
Still my covered eyes cannot see.
