SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME

There is something inside of me
That I want the whole world to see
It is neither massive nor small
But it is the greatest gift of all

It makes me humble and meek
And it’s free to them that diligently seek
It answers my prayers as soon as I pray
And when I kneel it creates a way

Though easy, yet surpasses the wise
The prudent are beaten twice
And only them that reads between the line
Knows that these words are not mine

When it comes out like a song
It makes me to forgive wrong
And when it comes out like love
It is in the similitude of a dove

It elevates the low and simple
It brings gentleness to the humble
It is the best thing that can ever occur
When it comes in contact with the poor

It crowns good success at the end
For it is an in need and indeed friend
And whenever it is called upon
Seldom disappoints, right on time with joy

There is something within my soul
And it mends the broken whole
For I have tried it and you can see
That it is Jesus on the inside of me

The Inexplicable Problem

After a traumatic work day
Going back to my humble home
A familiar cry reaches the ear
Oh! It’s the sound of my mobile phone

“Who could this be”? I questioned
It’s a call from a private number
“Its I… I’ll call you…” was all she said
But the voice was far too familiar

Though it wasn’t a normal flash
The voice produced too many pictures
I ran my memory in a speedy form
But none matches such eloquent features

Whose fault then was it?
Mine! Or that of the caller
Was it the network coverage?
Or that of the moving car

Had I known, would have trekked home
No! Jumped out of the car in motion
If only she wouldn’t call me back
Wouldn’t have been in this commotion

Though it gives me great thought
And lots of funny inspiration to write
That was the longest suspense of all
My ceiling had a million sheets that night

Could this be the caller’s intention?
To know the state of my patience
But if a vital message is to be passed
Then why this inconsequential suspense

But whatever this is
Chaos is the state of my mind
I wait meticulously for her call again
If only this poem she would find
