Poem Title:
Poem
There was something in that dream The puzzle pieces surely seemed To be initials, only of your name The sloping roof, the simple truth Remembered dreams of recent youth Shorn now of youthful strength Life was surely not a joyful game With a broken 3/4 door The voices mocked and underscored The little hope, that we once surely had The prowling feet hastened retreat The flash flood rising in the street Near washing us of everything once glad Awaking with a gasping start A horrid ice clutching my heart I rose and left the cold nightmare behind Praying "Jesus, please release us!" From this poverty which seizes Then trusting in His mercies true and kind He heard our anguished prayer Our Lord and Savior met us there He always works our puzzled pieces out Mercy extended, wilderness ended Our loving Shepherd tended. Leading us to greener pasture Without doubt "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" ~ Matthew 6:26 ~ New King James Version "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." ~ Philippians 4:6 ~ English Standard Version ~ "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." ~Jeremiah 29:11 ~ ~ New King James Version ~ "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." ~ Hebrews 11:6 ~ New King James Version ~
