I'M Scared

Am I in a act of play, did the clapper board come down just as I looked away? I see the crowd, their eyes embedded, Is this the nightmare, that I've dreaded? Standing alone the spotlight screaming, my hope in God, is, That I'm just dreaming.

Ann, you have a way of really drawing the reader into your verse. I admire that quality. If only we could always be dreaming when life seems like a nightmare. Great work! Love, Carolyn

Smile~Well, in a way you are dear lady!? And Your hope within "God," is absolutely 'everything!!!~For as Christ said in John 16:33~"In the world you shall have trials and tribulations. But be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world...."~ And I would also recommend Matt: 28-30 dear Ann!:) This was a lovely little write of profoundly felt expression here! And, I hope you are feeling better then when this was written!?....cont....
