'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

Kabuteng P.Ink K. April 22, 2015 at 11:51 AM 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!

Andrea Dietrich April 20, 2015 at 1:43 PM 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. Wilma Neels April 20, 2015 at 1:47 PM Praying that she is found soon Andrea..
