I gaze out on the misty sea And wonder if I'll ever be Set free from all this pain I feel These waves of sadness, chains of steel. I feel the gray clouds in the sky Press down upon my heart, I cry, "Oh, why can't I just see the sun? My strength is gone, my soul's undone." I took my grievance to the Lord My heart, my soul, in one accord, "When shall this end, this agony? My world's in such disharmony." He gently took me by the hand And set my feet on higher land He touched my eyes so I could see His purpose through eternity. "Although this world will break your heart My loving grace I will impart So you can see beyond the deed And look inside to see the need." "And ev'rything in life, you see, That touches you, must pass through Me And though you struggle with such pain I'll work it all for your own gain." I gaze out on the misty sea His waves of kindness cover me He set my feet on higher land; He rescued me from sinking sand.

...hehehe...I need a few slaps myself on a regular basis....hehehe....I'm glad you found this inspiring! This is a poem from among the first set of poems that I wrote and it came out of a very dark period for me. Writing this helped me to turn a corner and move on with my life. It remains one of my favorite ones. Denise |
