Usually

She’s usually smiling, usually inspiring, usually delighting – in the moment, the quiet, the light of a spirit who brings her fulfillment. ~ quote by author Usually, she gives – generously With joy, offering her gifts Her kindness, her acceptance The wonder of a tender word Pretty songs of hope, shadowed By love that she usually knows Will forever abide inside her Heart, where there grows… A melody of gentleness The depths of serenity Usually, she sighs – thankfully With delight, presenting her smile Stirring feelings of aliveness, Passionate prose and poetry that Shows much more than she says It is this poem of her faith… That silences every dread Usually, she tries – contributing With excitement, a promise In the shadow of her provision The impact of a love so sure, So brilliant it shines, like the sun Sparkling like stars in the night Reminding hearts why … She believes, without evidence To verify her faith, she believes Because, usually, she knows What it means to listen To the whisper of His still, small voice… The mystery, the chorus of a psalm Drawn from the feeling He excites Feeling so strong it is alive Usually, she abides in the light The rich, vibrant hue of satisfaction That comes from knowing… The Son who is… far more brilliant than the sun will ever be Usually, she believes Without a doubt, In the One who brought her out Of the darkness! Into the assurance of a LOVE that is eternal Writing Challenge - Unburden a ''U'' Word- Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France November 6, 2022
