You are the glistening gem in His eyes.
You are the song to His ears.
Every breath you breathe is a gift from God.
He calls you His best friend no matter what shame you bear.
You are as graceful as a deer in a meadow.
Like a beautiful sunset that lulls you to sleep.
Like the morning fog that lifts when you wake.
You are loved by the one who never changes.
Like a love song that lasts for an eternity.
Like a gurgling spring, He will lead you to the water that quenches your soul with mercy.
He will give you his hand when you seek Him.
His face is so radiant with love that even the angels have to shade themselves with their wings from the shine.
Like the dew on a spider web, He will catch you on the web of His grace.
When the night is long and you await the morning, His loving embrace will hold you still.
Like a fire that needs to be fed, His heart is hungry for you.
No need to settle for less, He grants gifts for us if we just ask.
Weather your crying or singing, He will lift you to higher places.
God will find you in the storm your in and command the clouds to part with sun.
He is the one who made you before there was time and when He did, He had to step back and say, "Your beautiful."
When your just getting by in life and you yearn for more, He can use you in wonderful ways.
Like a eagle that soars above the clouds, He will make you soar higher than the stars.
If your past hurts you, He will hold your heart and speak "That was then, this is now. Your made new."
If you've seen joy and regret and think that's all there is to see, He will speak favor in your direction and get you off the side lines and into the game.
If you are standing on the shore of God's ocean afraid to get wet, just jump in and be overwhelmed by loving grace.
If you think God is holding a mallet over everything you say and do, know that He is for you, not against you.
God's mercy reigns forever.

God may not be omnipresent but his followers sure as hell are

On a critical note you may want to change weather to whether. God didn't help you with the grammar. Busy doing all the other amazing stuff no doubt.

It's a bloody good job you didn't put assisting grammar as one of his amazing virtues or we could have a credibility issue here.

I know my grammar isn't good. I would recommend seeing past the grammar and receiving the intended meaning of what was written because that is what really matters.

I like the idea behind, "You are the song to His ears." It seems to me that each line could be expanded into a poem.

I agree with Jerrybaldy that the incorrect use of "your" for "you're" or "you are" does not help the poem, but that is easily fixed.

Welcome to LitNet !

The sentiment you wished to convey rings true in your poem. YesNo's suggestions of expanding each line is intriguing and a bit of a cleanup will serve you well.

Thank you for sharing. Hope to see more.
