Be careful when you look at me is it me you want or what I have for my strength is not my own and my heart is not empty for I am connected to power that is limitless do not ask me to deny my faith for in so doing I deny myself and you will loose what you want when you look at me

"This is another of my favorites, because it says (still) so much about me, and what I believe. I have a very strong faith in God and Jesus, and though that might mean different things to me than others, its still very real. This poem is number four of another group of poems. I have the other parts somewhere, I wrote them down in a journal sitting in the park next to the river in Carlsbad New Mexico on one of my first vacations home there from college my freshman year. I gave the book to a good friend of mine (Sean) to read one time, and haven't got it back from him. He's in the Navy now (last I knew) so i dont know if i ever will."
