Heaven / Poem

September 13, 2021January 29, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Heaven (written by Sarah Bennett) If I give my life to You, Do with it what You will. Only save my brothers and sisters, Open up the gates of Heaven. Take everything good I have, Take everything from me I love. Only save the ones close to my heart, Open up the gates of Heaven. … Continue reading Heaven / Poem

Letter (written by Sarah Bennett) I wrote a letter to the person I used to be / placed it in a postbox without a return address / it turned up at my front door a few days later / I always thought I could be separate people / that I could pretend the girl I … Continue reading Letter / Poem

Spring / Poem

June 16, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Spring (Written by Sarah Bennett) There’s washing on the line and a poem in my heart, A fullness of joy that’s been in hiding. Was I the one who sent it away? There are walks to be had and flowers to plant, The sun filters through the windows, shining. A slow, happy day. Interestingly, I … Continue reading Spring / Poem

Gone / Poem

April 15, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

In this post I mentioned how I took some old blog posts and turned them into poems. Here’s the second one, rewritten from this post. Again, I didn’t change too much, mostly just the format. Although I didn't include the entire post but contained it so the poem conveys one message. Gone (Written by Sarah … Continue reading Gone / Poem

Blueberry / Poem

April 8, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 1 Comment

Last August I wrote this post, and I go back to it a lot - and other posts written last winter - because they contain such poetic sentiments, even though that wasn't my intention. I took it a step further and decided to turn that post into a poem, so here it is! I changed … Continue reading Blueberry / Poem

Jesus / Poem

April 2, 2021February 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

Jesus (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone once asked if Jesus died from a bullet. They knew nothing of a cross, of the torture that lasted hour upon hour. They knew nothing of the cost or the blood of the Lamb. They thought He died in a second, Not knowing He was born to be sacrificed. … Continue reading Jesus / Poem

Please / Poem

March 22, 2021July 31, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Please (written by Sarah Bennett) How could I bear the sorrow of forever, To this I need You to atone. God save the ones closest to my heart, Lovingly bring them home. I cannot live with a burden so large, There are not enough words to describe pain. God save the ones closest to my … Continue reading Please / Poem

Reintroduction / Poem

February 25, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Reintroduction (written by Sarah Bennett) I am no longer scared to tell strangers that my dream is to be an author, Only the people who know me well enough to say my writing is not that good. Dreams are never big enough for those I’ve yet to learn the names of but crowd the space … Continue reading Reintroduction / Poem

Eight / Poem

February 20, 2021July 31, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Eight (Written by Sarah Bennett) I am so many dreams poured together, Keeping me alive. The wanting is woven into my name. I am confusion and love and what is often called naïve But is actually compassion. Forgiveness. I have been given grace so how can I not pass it on? I am the drought … Continue reading Eight / Poem
