Notes About The Poem

Inspiration

Inspiration sometimes comes from the least likely places
It can be found in a smile or in a silent prayer
Sometimes, you can feel it after a gentle rain shower
Other times, it dances through the breeze
And can even be seen in the brightest sunflower

Inspiration may be discovered within a heart who listens
Never interrupting, but always intent on even the whispers
Of one who needs to be heard and cared for
With a attentive ear who knows how to bring cheer
With kindness, affection and the gift of giving love

Inspiration might be found on the horizon, in twinkling starlight
Penetrating the shadows of night with the moon beam
Breaking the morning dawn with a shining sunlight ray
Capturing the new day with colorful explosion of flowery escapades
Sending out hues of delight across the indigo mountains

Inspiration comes alive in the breath of a heart’s insight
Sighing reflections of compassion and promise, murmuring
Faith and hope into the heart of those who listen with a desire
To know the One who brings a teardrop out of the pain
Erasing all doubt that there is relief in the weeping thought

Inspiration brightens the day with its blushing sensitivity
Caressing the spirit with praise for those encouragements
That fill lives with hope and hearts with new ways to cope
Lighten the load for those who hold onto so much worry
And give the broken a intact God to relieve the heartaches

Inspiration knows… the gift of giving from the heart
With only the hope that comes from knowing
It’s only in the giving that we are really living!
