'his Perfect Choice'

Your footsteps might disappear after a while Your voice might go silent at times Your needs will not be visible to others Unless you voice them Not everyone has the gift of reading between the lines Not everyone listens to the gentle nudge life gives them Unbeknown to others you might struggle Your heartbeat might have gone faint Your zest for life crippled In those moments Your maker has you under His wings He is your protector He might send a stranger your way Or a long forgotten friend might look for you again Not intentionally But because He worked behind the veil He knew you wouldn't get it if he sends a known entity That's why he chose the people or things You are not familiar with Don't cringe at His choice Embrace the comfort or joy they bring

I love this. I believe that God, in His mercy, gives you His message through poetry, that you may share His thoughts to us here through the form we love most. You are greatly appreciated indeed, Wilma. A 7 again for this. Hugs!

This is like a cup of comfort right here-- your poems truly soothe the soul, Missy! This is a beautiful reminder of also not taking people for granted-- those who seem insignificant, somehow can also make the biggest impact in our lives. Thank you for this, Missy! Mwahugs!

what an interesting way to look at life and how God helps us by sending people into our lives when we need it most. So lovely. I pray he sends someone to the sweet girl, a level one student in my school who mysteriously has gone missing since Thursday. It's so sad.
