David Cleveland Poems

Faith is believing without seeing.
Knowing that God is real.
It's knowing about His commandments.
Especially the one that says not to kill.
...

This man walked up and put a gun to my head.
He said do as I say, or you will be dead.
So I started thinking, if I had one more goodbye.
I would say these things before I die.
...

It took me 57 years to finally see.
My worst enemy turned out to be me.

I say this with sadness. It makes my heart ache.
...

It was His blood that washed over me.
It was His blood that set me free.
It was His body that took my pain.
We can't let His sacrifice go in vain.
...

Who am I if I'm not me?
I'm not blind, but I still can't see.
Here's a hint, I'm not a clown.
Another hint, I make no sound.
...

You said you love me.
That you would die for me.
And because of your death.
I would be set free.
...

You said you love me, that you would die for me.
And because of your death.
I would be set free.
...

I'm sorry I drifted away from you.
Lost, I didn't know what to do.
They said you left me alone, Father, did you?
...

Two motorcycle clubs are about to go to war.
Our only wish is to know what we are fighting for.
There are specific rules we follow, like not riding alone.
Things get pretty bad where we're not even safe at home.
...

Addiction
While I'm addicted, I will never be free.
The shadows of addiction are always chasing me.
Many times I've tried to quit, but the needle tells me no.
