A Day Without Rain
With a clear mind I think, yet, it is with a clouded heart that I love
Having forgiven because forgiveness has been granted me from above
And still the emotions that govern my heart make impure the forgiveness granted
by my mind
Sending me up mountains of contentment only to plummet through ravines of
thoughts unkind
Focus and peace of mind I strive to attain during these stormy days
But how to reach them, it eludes me, I cannot find the way
Happiness I've wished even to ones who have betrayed me
As of late, however, those feelings have changed to anger and grief
Stressful times, I would think, are behind my lapse in judgment
Causing tensions within myself, adding to my resentment
I pray God give me strength to heal so that I may trust again
I’ve become someone skeptical, not giving myself totally to those I call friend
With the power of my love I fight to dissolve the strength of my hatred
But only with the force of God’s Spirit do I remain undefeated
