    Selfish longing

    Lord,
    sometimes i wish you’d feign ignorance.
    but never when i need you.
    love,
    selfish me

    Someone has written that Jesus desires us to outgrow the selfishness that leads us to seek Him. I can't shake that thought. Nor do I really want to.

    AMEN!!!!!! Forgive me for being selfish! I so can understand this piece!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
