Laura Howard Poem
In the Silence,
Jesus speaks to me,
knowing that He is always near,
relieving me of my fear.
In the Silence,
He provides me peace and comfort,
that will forever sustain me,
no matter my plea,
for He is with me even.
In the Silence.
In the Silence, He listens to me,
when I call out to him on bended knee.
In the Silence,
I will listen for His voice,
knowing He will guide and direct my path,
In the Silence.
In the Silence,
He will provide me with care,
I trust in Him,
for he already knows the need,
my soul may be a mere bleed,
but in this silence, He knows the need,
yes, He knows the need.
In this silence,
while I am all alone,
He provides me with a sweet, sweet song,
reminding me that my trial will not be that long.
I will soon be going Home.
Trust Him,
In the Silence,
Trust Him.
For Jesus will be with you
In the Silence.

The Ocean
God's beautiful handiwork
all around us, seashells,
seagulls, fish and crabs.
The beautiful blue water,
softly swifts o'er my feet,
as I walk along the shore,
enjoying it all the day more.
The beautiful, golden rays of sunshine,
beaming on the calm, still water,
the tranquility and splendor,
shall never falter.

Laura Howard Poem
Turmoil and tension is all we now hear,
causing us to tremble and fear,
it is on every side,
how are we to even decide?
The world that we are living in today.
will never be the same,
God never intended for it to be this way.
Sin trampled in,
we must pray, pray, pray,
knowing that our Lord, is making a way.
Many feel that there is no hope,
resolving to the addictions of dope,
they have not taken a hold of the HOLY rope.
Many wars are taking place among the nations.
this is predicted in our Bible.
We must remain strong,
knowing this will not last long.
Things that we know are wrong,
society now proclaims as right,
what are they to HIS sight,
many have not yet "awakened" to find
that "HOLY" light.
Jesus is our PEACE,
we can rest assured that he will
come and take his children there
to live forevermore.
on that Happy Golden Shore,
peace, amazing peace.
Jesus, is our PEACE.
Amen!!!

Laura Howard Poem
When the storms within my life begin to batter,
making me think, "do I really matter?"
I can talk to the one that will really listen,
when I am to weary to stand on my feet,
he will be there to steady me.
In my life, when I feel that I have reached my limit,
The Master of my sea, will calm my broken spirit,
backing myself in a dark spot, stomach all in knots,
I will pray, finding the brightness of Hope in HIM.
Knowing that his light will never go dim.
The Master of my Sea, really cares for me,
tossing and turning throughout this journey: LIFE.
along with its sorrows and strife, he gives sweet
assurance that he is ever near, calming every fear.
Keeping this vessel safe,
the Master of my Sea, always looking over me,
when the waters of this life are troubled,
I will pray and seek his direction,
admiring his sweet reflection.
He will steer my boat, keeping me afloat.
His HOLY hands will guide me each and every day.
He's the Master of my sea,
he will take care of me.
HE'S THE MASTER OF MY SEA.

Laura Howard Poem
IN SILENT SHADOWS::
Increasing in intensity
nightmares,
screams because the
instigator never
letting go,
entrapping the victim
never stopping with the
threats,
striking
hurting them with
abusive mannerisms
defending themselves as an
over taker
who now threatens my
safety and security.
Pain and torment over many years,
living like this always in fear,
in the silent shadows, never knowing what to expect,
fearing for your life,
wondering where is the knife? Trapped in the silent shadows.
Wanting to tell someone the story,
not to relive the gory, resolve to my silent shadows.
Seeking the encouragement to find my way out,
making my way with a loud shout, leaving without the shadow of doubt.
What I thought was love, was never love.
Out of the silent shadows into the light,
taking off and enjoying the flight,
What joy, what delight.
Finally free, finally at peace,
Free from the chains that bound me
among those Silent Shadows.

Laura Howard Poem
JESUS, MY LORD, MY ANCHOR:
Drifting through this world, not knowing what lies ahead,
or where this journey will take me,
I know JESUS, my Lord, will be my anchor.
Trusting, knowing HE is always with me, no matter,
what may come my way, I will forever stay close to HIM,
Praying, knowing, JESUS, my Lord, my Anchor is there.
Drowning in despair, agonizing over many things,
I will pray out unto His HOLY name, knowing he
will cradle me in his loving, faithful arms.
Comforting me as no one else can,
He anchors through the depths of my soul,
He is IN CONTROL.
Fighting back pain and distress, hatred at times,
when I lean on HIM, he will bless me.
Trusting, following HIM all the days that he
gives to me, He will Anchor my soul and spirit.
When my hope has grown weak and dim,
and I can no longer cope, I will hold on to
my Anchor's rope. He's, my stronghold.
I'll forever lean on HIM.
JESUS, MY LORD, MY ANCHOR!!
On Him, I will depend,
JESUS, My LORD, MY ANCHOR!!!

Laura Howard Poem
Here am I sitting all alone,
not knowing what is next,
or what may happen to me along this path.
No one cares about me anymore,
it seems to them, I am such a bore.
Living in a different place,
basically taking up space,
no one longs to look at my face.
I ask them to come and see me,
but they always seem to flee.
Why, why, why,
I just sit in my room,
and cry, cry, cry
they forever pass me by, by, by.
My dad use to talk to me,
he is no longer here,
God called him home,
now I am on my own.
HERE am I,
Here am I,
just wondering about and pondering why,
no one cares to come along,
and spend time with me anymore.
HERE AM I.

When Doves Cry
Living life each and every day
trusting our Master along the way
as we spread our wings out and glide
Through the trials and tribulations that
come to us, we must realize He is always near
relieving every sorrow and fear
He can soothe a grieving spirit
especially ones that feel they have reached their limit
tears streaming down their faces,
He comes to offer his loving graces.
Providing comfort and healing
to hurting hearts,
their world has been torn apart
emotions soaring off the chart.
JESUS is our heavenly dove
extending his mercy and love
When, we his doves cry,
he is our best ally,
When, we his doves cry.
