In Doubt

Oh Lord, I pray with all my might That things will turn and go just right I sit and fret of what will become Sometimes lose faith and barely hang on. I tell myself, why are you in doubt Ask the Lord, ask the Lord I shout I should look to the brightness of day To take all my problems away. I should not let the darkness within Precious moments do not come again Waste of negativity on the mind Life is passing a moment at a time. For tomorrow is not promised to any one We learn of love and joy as we go along Trials and tribulations will come each day We are blessed and must trust in His way. 4/13/13 copyright@PhyllisBabcock 2013

I love the drift of this well written poem. Read "Midnight Brings The Dawn" on my page and you'll know why. They seem to be written from the same ink bottle..... Great Job.... Jake

The last stanza is so powerful, Phyllis. For tomorrow is not promised to any one.........wisdom in that line, remembering it is something we need to do..........and trust in His way.
