Something Different

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Winter is different than Spring
Autumn is different than Summer
Each in its own right is a wonderful thing
None is considered a bummer

Some folks like one season 
Others like another
There you have a reason
We're different from each other

Have you ever considered why
Storm clouds bring on rain
Peeling onions makes you cry
Blue skies bring joy again

What makes you gleeful?
What makes you sad?
What makes you peaceful?
What makes you glad?

The answer lies in your mind
As you think, so you are
Seek, and you will find
What you are seeking for

But on your quest for inner peace
Your paths will be different than mine
Therein lies the difference
In two members of mankind

Though we are different, in the end
We may reach the same conclusion
So don't be disheartened, my friend
Don't wonder in confusion

Seek the One who created you
He'll welcome you as His own
To Him who holds a different view
We're His, and His alone

You're absolutely right, Sara, Jesus is the key. As it says in Scripture, without Him I am nothing. I appreciate your support and will visit your page more often. I have a poem entitled Remembering that I wrote for 9/11. It's somewhere on my page if you'd like to read it.

You speak the truth! I like this, Curtis! I absolutely love the last line: "We're His and His alone." Amen! Love, Kim

Kim: I am remiss in responding to your comments. I'm glad you like the last line because it is the greatest part of the truth you referenced. Thanks for your support.

Thanks, Mark! I love your one word comment. It says more than a 'flowery' paragraph. I appreciate your support.
