• So Much Like Me

  a poem i wrote on april 20, 2005 :

  “so much like me”
     mary ann nguyen
     april 20, 2005

  not even real
  so surreal
  uncannyness
  too much sweetness
  what to do
  with all the “me too“s?
  unnerving, at best
  will it stand the test
  as we go on
  less pro’s, more con?
  i can’t resist
  he fits my list
  as far as i see
  so much like me
  – how can it be?
  it cannot be.
  we haven’t met
  must need to forget
  lay on the altar
  trust must not falter
  the Lord will show
  in this how to grow
  to trust Him more
  to shut the door
  to run for Him
  not for my whim
  to love Him best
  set my heart at rest.
  future plans
  He’s got what’s grand.
  He won’t be late,
  and so I wait.

  so much has changed in the last 4 months.
  tonight, i wrote a follow-up:

   

  too good to be true
  this thing that’s new!
  a gift from God
  which makes us laud…

   

  “Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done.  The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.”  Psalm 40:5
  

  I have fallen for the best man I have ever known!  His name is Sam, and he is my boyfriend…  *whoah*  i can’t believe it!
