Notes About The Poem
Written in June, 2025
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spirit of Peace
Spirit of Peace
in my spirit, where I sometimes see
beyond the darkness, beneath the grief
there lives a hope, a light, His love
comforting, guiding, reminding me
that whatever may come…
He abides with me, a faithful friend
the wonder of my life, the music
who never lets go of my hand, who silences
my tears and fears, while leading me
to the love that only God could give
love that is forever – restoring me
seeing me through the endless pleas
for a melody so sweet, a song who stirs
the wind and seas, a song who reminds me
whatever there is, whatever has been
wherever I go, wherever I’ve been…
He is with me, holding me up when I feel
like I might fall – like I might fail
despite all the grief, despite all the doubt
there is One who knows me and He assures
when troubles come, when I can’t see a way out
His love is stronger than any sorrow,
He is greater than any fear
He is the anchor… holding my faith
so that I can reach my destination – the home
He has for me… heaven awaits and I believe
Whatever happens, whatever grief
there is purpose in His plan – even when I don’t understand
He sees all that I am and all that I’ve been
And He makes a way through the darkest dread
He promises to stay with me, even through death
He promises to reveal to me… the love that only He can bring
Love that guides me through the tears,
Gently guiding me past the worst of my tears
And allowing me to see, even when I can’t understand
the wonder of a hope that has always been God’s plan
the beauty of a love that has always been wherever I am,
guiding me through all the grief and giving me sure relief.
The One sent to shower me with His sweet peace
the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, the everlasting Grace
the Holy Spirit who offers me the gentlest embrace
I’m so very thankful that, one day, I’ll meet Him face to face
One of these days – I’ll know what He meant…
When He told me …
“That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;” Philippians 2:15
