With God in My Life

My life's like a shell
Washed up by the tide.
Pretty to look at,
But empty inside.

My life's like a branch
Torn off of a tree.
Falls in the river
And drifts to the sea.

Just like an eagle
That soars in the sky,
Lonely, with no one
To hear when I cry.

But shells hold the sound
Of oceans within.
Branches are gathered,
Wherever they've been.

The eagles can rise
Above every strife.
So this I can do,
With God in my life!

I love the simplicity of God's wisdom that is expressed through your poetry here... What we sometimes view as limitations, God can use as a great attribute for Him and His Kingdom. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Amen. God bless you my poet friend and thank you for sharing this lovely little gem.

Betty, wonderfully written piece. We cannot be separated from the love of God.

Hugs to you, Marti

I found this to be so uplifting and enjoyable in its truth, and thank you for this kind reminder that all things are possible with faith.

                
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
