May Gloom

Today is May 9th, and the gloom is here!
Usually this time of year on the coast it is not clear.
Today though the sun is shining through,
Maybe a sign from the Lord, winking His eyes for 
me and you.

On the coast here in Santa Barbara, we go through 
this every year.  
It’s gray, gloomy, most of the time and the sun 
usually hides and it’s not very clear.

But this morning, I was pleasantly surprised.
The Lord has let the sun shine through the clouds, 
He’s allowed it to shine through His eyes.

A lot of times, we let life’s problems allow this gloom.
But through faith, we can avoid the approaching doom.
Belief in our Father is a pre-requisite, just pray in humbly
adoration and remember it’s His spirit.

It’s in all of us, if we search and look.
Having problems?  Read with faith and study His holy book.
Gloom is a reality; it is with every one of us.
When we pray to our Father be happy, reverent and trust 
in His son Jesus.

Dear Robert, what you say is so true. We allow gloom to overtake our lives, but we can restore the "sunshine" by putting our lives in God's hands. I feel you wrote this with a friend in mind, someone who needed reassurance. It sure works that way for me, dear friend. A great write of the hope that faith brings to our lives. Love and blessings, Carolyn
