Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Moral Test

As the wind howls outside in the night
Things thrash around breaking with its might
I think about the good and evil
Raising their faces, showing their will
Brewing like a storm in our country
 A storm bound for landing, not to flee
A time of reckoning is showing
As we watch and we speak without knowing,
What the damage will be when it’s done
Who will survive retaining blessed love?
Who will hold onto faith from above?
Pleas for justice are calling abound
Some facts disappear without a sound
Spreading truth, not games, mean the most now
To hold onto it, through this somehow
Faith is the answer, restoring hope
As we travel this slippery slope
Let us not forget our core values
In the whirlwind of hatred on news
As the wind howls, keep calm inside
Emerge from conflict, knowing we tried
The truth is the seed within your heart
Do not let it go or break apart
This influential turmoil is strong
Many choices to make right or wrong
With every single moral test,
Winds may be strong, so let’s do our best

Carolyn Devonshire February 27, 2019 at 3:22 PM Sometimes the wind howls so loudly that it's hard to hear the truth, but it's always there. It's faith that keeps us believing in things we cannot see or hear. Beautifully written, Heidi! Hugs, Carolyn Heidi Sands February 27, 2019 at 3:27 PM You are so right Carolyn.
