*
!
!
I looked at
death
I looked at
despair
I looked at
distance
I looked at
danger
I looked at
disgust
I looked at
desperation
I looked at
descending
that had no grace.
Never finding the
Glory of God.
Where is Our
Almighty,
among all of this?
Where is
His answers
to my questions
for which
I have no
understanding.
Glory to God
in the Highest.
My Salvation
the One
everlasting.
I will find
you there
removing
all my cares.
Among this darkness you call light.

Thank you Pepper and Emmy. When this poem,
is written with options of format. The
words appear as a candlestick, which appeared by accident. That's why
*!! are added.

Interesting it is! I could see the resemblance of the candle stick when I went back and looked. God answers all, we only have to listen. But not always in the way we expect, but He is always there. Very touching poem!
