The Game

A Poem by Donald Cole
"

I’m on my way to find you
I started with your name
Long ago you thought of me
And you brought me in this game
I started solely innocent
As I was just a child
Silently you carried me
And stayed all the while
 
The worlds’ the other player
Writing its own rules
It tries to keep my team from me
Trying to hide my tools
I’d find myself alone now
Fighting the other team
For all that keeps us from having you
Is letting the world be our dream
I’m so tired of playing
Not sure the game is real?
For they’d surely find me running the wrong way
And just to escape what I would feel
 
 
Which end is the end zone?
For I get so turned around
Sometimes so hard to find the way to win
With my answers yet to be found
There is no way to buy the moves
That would even up the game
The score that I couldn’t settle
For it’s only given in His name
 
Now Heaven with God my goal
Before I couldn’t see
I’m asking that You’ll break me God
Just so I’ll give you all of me
For I believe in all or nothing
In all that I would do
And soon I see me craving
The more I learn of you
Now I have Him in me
Yet struggle still to stay in the game
For I find myself pushed aside in the sidelines.
When I fail to whisper His name
Not that I don’t want winning lord
It’s just that I need to know
Please be the Coach of this here Game
Help my eyes remain on the Goal
 
As I approach the end zone,
I pray that I would see
My way through he struggles in the red zone
That would be keeping You from me
The playing field is huge Lord
Yet when I feel you next to me
And showing me how to pray this game
Opening my eyes to see
 
I pray to have my answers
Just to keep me in Your will
Even weak standing in my Red Zone
I’ll be reaching for you still
 
Keep me grateful in Your world Lord
As You keep me in this game
For the prize at hand is eternity
In Heaven praising your name
 
It’s just that I am scared Lord
For sometimes I know not what to do
To keep my feet on the path seeking Your will
To share Eternity with You
