"This Day"

Sky of blue
Chase the clouds of gray
Warmth of sun
Make the chill go away

Tears fill eyes
As they stream down my face
Though time has been temporarily
Suspended and frozen into place

Little sister in a car wreck
Fear making my heart stop dead
Wanting to scream like a mad woman
But said a silent prayer instead

Thank you dear God
for keeping her safe in your care
Whenever we need you the most
You are always endlessly there

She is safe
And I breathe a sigh of relief
Serves only to prove you are real
Strengthening my belief

Love surrounds my heart
If anyone doubts Him
There is no need to look around
Inside of your heart is where he can be found

Amy M. Kennedy

***Normally I don't write much spiritual poetry.
But my little sister yesterday was in a pretty
bad car accident. Lisa is ok though, thank God!
This just really has shook me and my family up.
And as a result this is what came out. Take care
all!
Amy

I'm glad that your sister is ok. Isn't it strange how panic and fear can bring out some of the best poetry. Yes, he did answer your prayer.

Amy, this is a beautiful poem and your words say it all. Thanking Him for your sister's life is where the thanks should go.  Let us not forget.  So glad all is well and the family together on earth.  Soft hugs for your sister,  ME

Yes, definitely, Aims!  Boy, I go away for a few days, and look what happens!!  Wow, but, seriously, I am so happy she is okay.
Beautiful poem of thanks to the One who always looks out for us.  I love this, my dear friend.  ttyl
