Poem Title:
Poem
It was in the sorrow That I learned to empathize and care It was in the darkness That my heart spoke the best prayers It was in the silence That my voice sounded tender It was in the fear That I found the courage, the strength It was in the yearning That I learned to be satisfied with what I had It was in the hopelessness That my heart confessed its tears It was in the doubts That I understood the importance of peace It was in the struggles That I found my greatest strengths It was in the failures That I discovered my reason to believe It was in the depression That I learned true humility It was in the anguish That I felt grateful for the joy It was in the discontent That I felt satisfied by the simplest pleasures It was in the letdowns That I heard the whisper of success It was in the heartaches That I experienced hope for what is next It was in the misery That my feelings became considerate It was in the brokenness That I learned the meaning of together It was in the grief That I met with understanding It was in the melancholy That I felt best understood by beauty It was in the wretchedness That I remembered the happy moments It was in the shadows That I learned to reflect sincere love It was in the gloom That I surrendered all my suspicions It was in the misgiving That I began to find my daring It was in the worst That I realized hope was trembling It was in the wickedness That I appreciated His grace It was in the mystery That I found my greatest challenge It was in the evil That I realized there is so much good It was in the panic That I felt free from confidence It was in the timid That I knew the meaning of assurance It was in the yesterday That I learned and grew in love It was in the death That I appreciated life’s hope It was in the question That I became the most humble It was in the loss That I found my way, my dream It was in the dying That I knew the meaning of living It was in the crying That I found the truest soothing It was in the recklessness That I felt the hint of a warning It was in the senseless That I discovered what is wise It was in His darkest moment That I found the hope for tomorrow It was in His gift of love That I felt the new life come to my heart It was in His righteousness That I learned to be humble, to believe It was in His grace toward me That I knew true freedom – salvation Often, it is the very thing we think will bring us down That carries us into the lesson, where we find the meaning, The hope, the joy – the love that lingers inside the heart Who knows that God is always faithful – even when we don’t hear Him, He is always awake and always bringing the spirit A sense of the beauty, a sense of the truth, a sense of the joy That comes to those who know – His grace and His love The whole reason that we can know the peace that is alive, Breathing out miracles with a light that shines so very bright With the light of life – Sonshine discerns the meaning behind Every battle that comes – be it bitter or beautiful Thanks to Him, we can always know that it is beneficial to us
