Notes About The Poem

What Life's About

When my heart is broken
and I feel like I’ll never find a way
to see beyond the sorrow, the darkness
who slurs each prayer I pray…

when my soul is churning
with fear that won’t let me go
and nothing will ever again be perfect
the way it was before I felt this blow…

when my life just isn’t worth it
and I want to give up all of my plans
even though I’ve worked hard to share
my blessings – the blessings from His hands…

when all seems lost, and I can’t fix it
when I don’t know what to do or say
I feel the love of God reaching out to me,
offering hope that He hears when I pray…

when I feel the shadows cover my dreams
and the desperation silences my light
I believe – despite the darkness, there is One
who will always win my worst fight…

He silences the fears that trouble me
He reaches out to me with His grace
He reveals the truths that stir hope in me
He is the One who I’ll ever embrace.

With Him, I know what it means to love
He is the light that shines down from above
With Him, I have no reason to doubt
He shows me that love is what life’s about!
