When Shadows Come

Author Dana Redricks 
June 8, 2019 

When shadows come they
seem to hover above like
a cloak tries to consume 
your soul 
Only God can bring you 
light power and his might 
God gives us the ability or 
capacity to act 
or do something effectively, 
and achieving something we 
thought was impossible 
He gives us the strength to 
make it through the darkest of 
nights 
Though we face many storms 
in our lives
The thing I'm learning about 
storms are that they come far 
and few between and some 
 storms last a long time
No matter what the case 
maybe only God can set us 
free from the pain and misery 
Only joy happiness can be 
found in Christ, we won't find 
true happiness in people, places, 
or things 
It's God put the joy back in 
our hearts and give us a new song
