Waves of dark emotion
  flood the soul of me,
I pray for God’s redemption
  to set my spirit free.
Heavy is my heart,
  for I’ve fallen off the Path.
I beg for God’s mercy,
  ~ ‘tho I merit more His wrath.

But God is my Father,
  and I know He loves me still.
Even though I strayed from Light
  and followed not His Will.
Pleasures of the flesh,
  were not worth the price I paid.
I sold my soul in devil’s bed,
  where he and I had laid.

Standing in the sunshine,
  with God’s Light beaming down,
I gather in the beauty,
  of nature all around.
Warmth from rays of gold,
  soak to the core of me.
Healing my emotions,
  and setting spirit free.

We all are the children,
  of Our Father up above.
He is forgiving,
  ~ with unconditional love.
Now I have returned
  to the Path of Lighted Way,
With heart full of thankfulness,
  as I bow my head and pray.

Joy fills my being,
  from the sky down to the earth.
I'm a conduit of Light,
  since the mome of my rebirth.
Never shall I stray
  into valleys of the night,
For now I am flying,
  in blue skies full of Light.

angelic psalms of praise here - beams of light from a lovely heart -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Good morning! Actually, I try my best not to stray! I'm too much of a scaredy cat!

Susan ~

Thank you, Sweet One! I do my best to stay on the right path ~ but my "halo" has been known to slip a bit every now and then! ~ just enough to keep life interesting! Flirty

Love & the Lighted Way!

Being human is best, even though I know you are an Earth Angel, and making mistakes is just the way we all are.  Live, be happy, and be you, just the way you are.  If you truly think of Him as your Father, then he will know your true intent.  Dads know.

Beautiful write EA.

JL ~

What a lovely and loving reply. Thank you so very much, Kind Hearted One.

I do my very best to be a "good girl" ~ and thankfully, I do a pretty good job of it! ~ most of the time!

This truly was just poetry ~ but it did flow from my heart.

Love & God's Light,
EA

Earth Angel,
And all this lies when all is done
Within this kingdom made of one.
Not to worry love.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage and life is full of storms.

Well done!

Oh, Mr. T.,

You are such a dear and tender-hearted soul.
You need not worry. I did not really fall off of the Path ~ well, maybe I have strayed a little bit every now and then ~ but only minor infractions!

Love you hugs,
EA

Dixie, your shadows are passing ~ perhaps not as fast as you would like them to ~ but they are passing.
