Whatever is Pure - October 2008
If I Was Never Born
If I was never born
I would never be able to see Jesus' face
If I was never born,
I would never be in God's grace
If I was never born
There would never be beautiful poems to write
If I was never born.
The people I try to help
Would be out of my sight
I forgive those who give me pain and hurt
They try to crush my spirit, but it does not work
Some are cruel, some do not care
They try to bring me to the bottom of despair
But, The Lord, my God, is on my side
I stay strong, He makes me wise
If I was never born
The earth could not be beautiful at dawn
The butterfly, I love so much
May not be there at all
I would not smell the flowers, or fly into the air
I could never be an angel
Because, I was never there
The loved ones I touched
And those who feel unloved
Would never have known me
And with my heart and soul
Never have been touched
If I was never born,
No laughter would I know
I could not see the raindrops fall
Or watch nature grows
I would never have met my mother
Who would have been unhappy to the end
I would never have known my sister,
She would have no one to confide in
And I would have no joy, bubbling from within
If I was never born,
Without life, there is no eternity
I would never have been, God knew
So He gave me my beginning
If I was never born,
I would not know how to pray to The Lord above
Thank you, Dear Jesus, for keeping me in your heart
You never forgot me
There is a light from you around my head
"Dear Child" My blood for you I shed

Happy Friend
Happy friend, Creator of this bodyand the soul that flaps within.
Your good gifts rain down on me like hail,
I thank You for the breathe of the morning,
I thank You for Your grace and mercy.
Give me strength today,
strength to walk in Your Law,
strength to forgive, strength to do good,
and be the goodness
I thank you for having
food to eat, and water to drink,
and remind me, O God,
to never cease praising You.

Thank you Lord that you’ve caused us to see
What is the truth and what is to be
It is all exposed to those who believe
Those who open the hearts to you to receive
Thank you Lord that you guide our way
That you’re there beside us day by day
That you cover us… you spread out your wings
That you warn us of danger that the enemy brings
We don’t need to fear when we pressed close to your heart
We don’t need to leave we don’t need to part
We just need to rest to rest in you
Be surrounded by love your love so true

As of May 2012, "WHATEVER IS PURE" ARCHIVES will no longer be seeking submissions. As most authors and poets now have their own blogs, we noticed a significant drop in submissions over the past year and felt it was best to move on to other endeavors.
