Short Downhearted Poems

Service

Gifts 
of 
service
to the ill
or the downhearted
can make a difference in two lives.

I am downhearted, discouraged, dejected, downcast.
Ms. Positive said “You need to look up, for positives and fast.”
I am disheartened, dismayed, down in the dumps she replied.
Determined to be miserable, hopeless, sad, an expert who cried....

UNDERSTANDING

Understanding is the
utmost ability 
uplifting downhearted,
uniting the lost souls,
urging resolutions.
Up to us to give, be
useful, compassionate.

I looked everywhere
And nowhere then
But I can't seem to find
My Holy Grail

Others were with me once
At times it was hard
And so they have left me too
But I'm still searchin'

It eludes me in my quest
At every step I take
I'm bruised, battered and torn
But not downhearted 

And I keep goin' on
For to stop would be a crime 
Until in the end I will find 
My Holy Grail.

she rarely spoke of the past.
when the world turned her down, 
Her loneliness and despair made her
dumb,
incompetency and ineffectual she felt. 
she never wanted to speak about it 

When she does try to speak. 
The bloodshot eyes flood,
Downhearted and gloomy,
In a low tone,
Allow life take it's course.
Turn your back on the world.
And we left dumbfound.

Open my eyes,
to see as You see,
Use my voice to bring
hope and love to a dying world,
Cleanse me daily,
so I may be blameless in Your sight,
So Your light will clearly
shine through me,
A beacon of joy
to the downhearted,
A comforting embrace
to the hurt and grieving,
A confirmation of Your faithfulness
to the weak, afflicted, and searching.
Take my life and the gifts You
gave me,
before conception,
That I may reach people for You,
to show them the truth....

Encouragement 
(Senryu Suite)

Eager and willing
strength for each step of the way
walking with courage

with pleasure and pain
there’s comfort found in prayer
life full and complete

sympathy to share
traveling life’s busy road
in sunshine and rain

growing downhearted
keep on reaching for success
follow His wisdom

always remember
the hearts peace comes from knowing
with faith, hope and love
