A Little Faith

When hearts are heavy, and teardrops start When days have found the sunlight dim And night can find no good excuse For the thunder, or the storms, or the weary and grim... When I cannot put my mind to bed... I think of tomorrow, and all of the good things, instead... New grass will wave in a new wind....tomorrow.... White buds will blur our orchard lanes again. Clouds will rise for a brief flying....tomorrow... And earth will feel the tiny feet of rain. Streams will wash their pebbles white...tomorrow Each shaken fern will yield a twinkling shower, Meadowlarks will spend their songs....tomorrow... And sun-drenched clearings will be glad with flower. The wide lift of blue sky...tomorrow.... Will glimmer from beyond each leafing bough. I will walk out into the woods...tomorrow.... tomorrow.... Thank you, Lord....I will be able to sleep now..... --------------------------------------------------------

Carrie, there is so much here. I sense strongly the power of hope within this amazing poem. Nature's promise of a new day, lighter, brighter, more beautiful, refreshed. Spiritually inspiring in your 'untwisting'. An incredible entry. Good luck. Love, Shar

I like so lame saying, 'beautiful' everytime I visit your words, but it is so, it is the best word to describe your work - inside and out beautiful. mucho love my dear, Kristin

Awesome read, especially for someone (like me) who has difficulty sleeping. Perhaps I can meditate and think about the beautiful images you create here. It might be just what I need to fall asleep. Excellent work, Carrie! Love, Carolyn

Carrie, best of luck with your contest entry ... time is the most twisted thing that can happen to us ... and yet tomorrow is always hope among all other things ... very inspirational too.

Each stanza is a poem in itself, each line tells its on special tale. You can close your eyes and see each line come to pass. And the last line I do all the time, not the sleeping just the thanking. God Bless my friend, Ron
