Notes About The Poem

" GATES OF ETERNITY " MY PHOTO, ©

God's Presence

The storm has subsided
The wind has died out
The sea has calmed.
 
The night has passed
The sun has risen
Darkness is dissipated
Fear is gone
Hope has returned
My dream is revived.

God gave me another chance:*
Another day to live,
Another day to test my wings,
To fly
To create.
 
The goal of my life appeared before my eyes
Anew:
Provoking
Challenging
Demanding.

I feel God's presence!

My faith is strengthened,
My determination is reinforced,
My heart rejoices,
My soul is uplifted.

It is certain, that this time,
I would succeed in serving Him better

For

With the Lord's help,
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

* Back in October 2021, I had a serious accident that
caused a large Hematoma in my brain, and as a consequence of that, I had
a long (12") Craniotomy which brought me to the gates of eternity mute and paralyzed, however, God gave me another chance to live!
