Harriet Shea Poet Free verse

Standing Before God

When I stand before God 
 may I never have regrets 
 that I've never tried to do 
 my best. 

 Roads have many bends 
 mountains to climb above 
 clouds filled with doubt 
 and fear. 

 Dawn collecting hope 
 sunsets bringing in 
 darkness, while we rest
 our distorted minds .

 Diamonds bring promise 
 of another day sparkling 
 brightly, in these uncertain
 times we live.

 When I stand before God 
 may I be an angel, to guide 
 another through sadness 
 of heart. 

 Life is not only for learning 
 loving, caring, we find out 
 years of living, we even become
 teachers in our time..
