To Be Heard In The Snowfall

Hi everyone. I am not back fully yet. I posted a blog post update. But tonight, I did write a poem after a month of not writing and decided to post it. I hope you are all well. Your prayers have helped me tremendously. Thank you for this pretty sight, in the middle of the night As I watch the snow fall, beneath the glowing streetlight I thank you for all I have been granted, all moments of serenity, Bringing me on this long path, to impeccable truth and clarity All I've ever wanted is to be heard and understood; in winds of passing days Trauma, turmoil, challenges, God helped me in so many ways I could not have gained the valuable wisdom or done it all alone He led me through times of darkness, where the sun has shone I am only me,; one person, one life, so many things in one story But, he reached me since I was a child, with remarkable glory I am gracious through all times, whether good or bad I can even be thankful, for the tears when I am sad I pray to complete my purpose, according to his will Because all my life, that is what I had the drive to fulfill So here I am tonight, watching snowfall in the silence... A minute with each flake; not a single moral melted, no belief will I forsake 11/21/23 Heidi Sands

a comforting poem, Heidi. Glad to see you back. I've missed you. I loved these soothing and inspirational words: I could not have gained the valuable wisdom or done it all alone--He led me through times of darkness, where the sun has shone..I am only me Well done and continue to heal! Blessings, Sara

A wonderful poem my friend. Happy to see you writing again. Nothing quite as comforting as watching the snow turning the harsh landscape into a smooth blanket of white.
