Everyday,is a poem waiting to be written
Ever turning, world in motion
Chords of music
Expressing beauty
Love and kindness

Everyday I try to find the beauty
Surrounding me
Sometimes it’s hard to see
For all the devil hurls at me

Bitter angry words I sometimes hear
They are like swords
Endeavoring to puncture  me
Deflating the joy
That comes so naturally

I need to stop and look toward heaven
Remembering my Father who sends his love
With blue skies and
Sunshine from above
Although he sometimes
Sends the rain
Rainbows promise
His love is still the same
The showers are
Meant for me to grow
Strong and faithful
To his calling

When the dark clouds
Roll in
He reminds me
That he’s watering me
Once again
Helping me to depend
On his love that
Will take beyond the end.

I recall Col. Coffee, a POW for many years, saying his first poem was a prayer of thanks for a worm found in a most welcomed piece of old bread he received after weeks of only thin soup-like slop. It isn't what we have but what we make of what we have and you've proven that.  Nice work.
