Poem
There was a time when I was so young I was uncertain, didn’t know which road Was the right one, the way for me to go The place where I’d discover wisdom and more… …. Peace and love, grace from above There was a time when I thought I was strong Everything in this world was there for the taking Nothing in life seemed beyond my grasp And life felt like a place where I’d really make it But I was wrong… doubt and fear began to haunt Me with their dread, the darkness pierced my hope … leaving me unsure of just how to cope There was a time when I want to catch the moon The longings in my soul were alive, dancing Inspiring my thoughts, my heart, my life… to believe In the dreams that moved through my spirit Promising to color my life in the beauty of His blessings … but I found that I had to pray, find His will … there on my knees, I petitioned There was a time, when I was just a little girl Although I felt like I knew all the right ways, answers That would fulfill my heart’s quest, assure me of the best I felt like I was sure – like I knew just what I should do But it wasn’t until I prayed, heard from God’s breath That I was steady and loyal, a constant source of truth …. Someone who knew, absolutely …. The will that makes me feel worthy …. And understood There was a time when I thought I had it right But, when I prayed and sought the God of love I found that I was wrong – so very imperfect But, with prayer and praise, through His grace I began to know what it is to have a sure faith To know the inspiration that comes from His favor The serenity and sincerity that are alive on the inside …. Where the love of God survives … every darkness, each doubt There was a time when my life wasn’t really right With the One who makes a way where there was no way The One who silences the disbelief and reassures, relieves Promises the soul that there will be a peace on the inside A calm that survives every tear that erases all pride With a love that is so alive, it dances – a waltz of joy … providing the soul with salvation that defies …. The shadows of worry, pain and despair There was a time when I was so very young, so naïve But the One who saved my soul – He comforted me Reassuring me that I could dream and believe, know relief That comes from trusting in His grace – with a faith Devotion to the One who makes every light reflect the love That is alive, beautiful – the wonder of a heart and soul … who know He is the only One to stir the spirit … into a selflessness, a soothing, a generosity That comes to life where the love of God does abide!
