Look Up

Cast your eyes to the glorious skies

                     Past the pain of the saddest good-byes

                       The Sun shines gold in outer space

                       Above the night, in darkest of place

                          
                           Look up, Look up unto the Son

                     Who'll dry our tears, forgetting not one
                       
               Tho' yesterday's joys seem all passed and done
                  
                   Take courage, in Him, for the victories won

Thank you Evelyn, I was so surprised, blessed and honored with the POTD :) Thank you for your visit and for your sweet comments. I sure do love the sweet poem you wrote about your precious childhood memories at the beach, that poem so lifted my heart like a gentle breeze of blessing today, I use to live in the Bay area of CA as a little girl, I have such beautiful childhood memories from living there :) I hope your Wednesday is blessed! :) <3

Thank you so much Gordon, I really was uplifted the day I'd written it. I wish I could have recorded it as it was playing in my heart as I was driving home as a song! I really don't have a singing voice but the tune was such a blessing to me :) Thank you for your visit, I hope all is well for you and your family. God bless you, and thank you for your visit and comment :)

Thank you Anisha, I wish I could always be, but this was a positive day that I wrote this poem :) this poem came to my mind in a little tune, but I can no longer remember what the tune was! I hope you too are cheerful. I have hoped this for you after I read a sad poem you'd written and have been thinking about you and wishing the best for you. I hope you are doing well my friend <3 Thank you for your visits and uplifting words :)
