I was going through unpublished stories and here is another one.

Title:Bad Taste

Poem:

Something has soured to the point of tasting bad
Some candies are made to be sour

These candies make your mouth water
There is a slight tinge of sweetness although the sour taste almost overwhelms it

You try this food, after a while it sours
You try that food, after a while it sours too

I'm not sure what causes the sour taste
There is a certain order and the bad taste gets burned into your long term memory

There are situations in life you try for a while
They too are like food

At first the food tastes sweet and satisfies
After a while, there is a slight difference in the taste

You ignore the taste remembering this food you like
Another slight difference appears

The experience creates a seed of doubt
It makes you ponder and reflect

This could be the enemy fostering these feelings
You start to see situations that used to be there slightly different

You try not hard to carry this bad taste
You pray asking for forgiveness and a glass half full

Other situations appear ever so slightly
Making you wonder if your instinct is trying to tell you something

You put your instinct on the shelf hoping the situation will recover
I'm not certain the outcome, just remember Jesus is there through it all

The situation can reveal it's self as a bad taste mentally
Making a person really wonder the eventual outcome

Like anything, if something sours, pray for forgiveness
Pray for the situation to resolve itself.

If something bothers you mentally, use the word of God as a guide
Follow the instruction to correct through honest dialog

It's God right to pass judgment alone
People will let you down, food will let you down

God won't let you down, although at times it might seem that way
When going through something, the taste might not quite right

Keep tinkering, trying and praying
God will not let you have a bad taste of his love, it will be sweet and enduring!
