Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Trouble

Gloom absorbs my life
There are poor economy and strife
Oh!  Where can the joy be found?

Then I turn my eyes up to the sky
I see the birds flying by
There exposed God's gifts abound!

There are muck and mire
Godlessness conspired
Then a smile from heaven's child

Comes to my mind
Then I thank God for the sign
If only in my mind!    

I posted this one as is on Lulu's in 2009. Times haven't changed much.

sara Etgen-Baker November 4, 2025 at 6:20 PM truly we love in a gloomy, troubled world. Like your poem suggests, I don't focus on all of that...but rather God's beauty that surrounds me every day. hugs, SAra B Sara Kendrick November 5, 2025 at 3:16 AM The best idea is to focus on the beauty, Sara B. Sometimes when the news is being broadcast all we hear is the gloom and it can be upsetting. I am not listening to as much here lately. Thank you for your visit and uplifting thoughts. Sara K
