My heart wars with my mind Telling it to deny All the love I’ve known The way God has blessed my soul With joy, faith and hope A love that dances and glows With a light that abides inside Wherever I go – filling my life With music, inspiration and elation Freeing my spirit’s imagination With wonder, courage and strength Assurance that I have His gifts Of love to awaken my peace And cover my life in sweet grace My spirit battles my brain Telling it to remain Uncertain, afraid, full of worry Weary beyond comfort With feelings stewing with discouragement And giving off a vapor of despair Disgrace that makes me aware I have need for a silent prayer My dreams are fading into shadows Of darkness that fills up my being Weakens the sparkle of enthusiasm Filling me with dread of the future Feelings of anxiety, panic, alarm Disregarding all of my aspirations The ones that are filled with light Sparkling with imagination and insight Alive with kindness and dreams Feelings that calm and uplift my heart With music that pours through my thoughts And moves my soul to new heights Where darkness can’t shade my hope And despair can never break through Because God is there, filling my cup With a sweetness that lingers on my heart Enriching, enlightening, enchanting Reminding me that He is my forever And He is the One I will always treasure!

Beautifully penned, uplifting write. I hope it is widely read
