Do You Wanna Believe? Poem by Lagaya Evans

You tell me there is a God
How do I know?
That the man I here stand
Has an eternal soul?

Why should I question
My beliefs as such
That there is no God~
That loves me that much

If I admit I am wrong
I stand here a broken man
For all I’ve known thus far
Makes me who I am

All the books I’ve read
All the ones I’ve rated
Tells me I was formed
No God from which created

Do I wanna believe?
And change my whole life inside out
Shake my whole world up
From a whisper to a shout?

My intellect would say no
How could that be?
I don’t want a God
That I can’t look and see

Do I wanna believe?
I’m gonna say no!
But do I believe?
I question though~

~My Son~

First I want to say,
My Son, you know I AM~
I created you from me
Your heart is my stamp

Your head may not listen
But I know your heart will
Because your heart is my heart
My love you can feel

When you’re feeling love
Or that smile on your face
When you laugh out loud
The laughter that fills your days

That’s all Me~
I’m always there for you
My Son, I’m here waiting
I don’t question you!

All this is My creation
Even before you were born
I said, one day
My world you would adorn

I’ve known you
Since the day you were
My Son, I was there
On your day of birth

For I will use you!
To make others see
That a man from no god
Can come and be free

You will tell of this day
To all that will hear
How you wouldn’t bow
Wouldn’t bow in fear

That emptiness inside you
I’m gonna fill
A place I left empty
Just for me to heal

I give everyone a choice
To come unto me
Leave all your burdens here
Lay them at my feet

The world may ask
How you know there’s a God
I sent my only Son
For his love to tell of

Someday you will have a son
Your heart will cry inside
“Now I understand
The pain the day Jesus died”

For you could not give your son
As I have done for you
Your love will be too great
Just as mine that day was, too

Humble yourself this day
Make me Lord of all
From this day for forever
Your name the one I call

I Am and will always be
You know and feel my hand
I gently embrace you Son
Look to me instead of man

I’ve waited for this day
Now the time has come
For you know I Am
From which you came from

My hands are out reached
Close your eyes and see the scars
Two hands that hung for you
So you would know whose they are!
