Do you ever feel... |

Do you at times feel helpless Like a ship against the tide? You feel the darkened waters Constant crashing 'gainst the side? You're in tumultuous waters You have been tossed to and fro Your thoughts are turning frantic And the tides too strong to row You're out in the great open At the mercy of the sea And suddenly you're feeling All your inadequecies Feeling so awfully helpless Forces out of your control For they are so much bigger Without help, affect your soul There is one force that's greater That is stronger than the rest It is our Lord Almighty For solutions, He's the best When you're feeling tossed about And your future's looking bleak May it be God you call for And the first one that you seek For He's the greatest calmer Greatest peace you'll ever find When our own understanding Leads us in these waters blind He is always there for us We need give control to Him And let the Lord take over When you're just too tired to swim For He is your protector Safely carry you ashore So call on Him and trust Him Let His love for you outpour [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 06-25-2000).] |

Oh WhtDove... I love this (and I don't know what's up, but it made me cry...and yes, the Lord does carry us at times, doesn't He!) Thanks for the sweet words. Great writing!

You speak with such beauty and wisdom, my friend. I hope this one gets in the book! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Hi WhtDove, So wise and written beautifully. We humans do make mistakes, pardoned as Jesus extends to us love and forgiveness. With each lesson, we learn and move forward. I enjoyed this very much, Rebecca. "For He's the greatest calmer Greatest peace you'll ever find" [This message has been edited by Alle'cram (edited 06-26-2000).] |

Yes, I do feel like this sometimes and it's such a reassurance to know there is an anchor for us in all of lifes storms. Wonderful poem. Eric "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Gee, I wonder how did you know how I feel right now? I guess it's time for me to put my feet back on the ground and start to walk again, because there are only two foot prints in the sand. Wonderful poetry. Thank you The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Eric is nice to know He's there for us. Thank you! XAngel....I'm glad you agree! Thank you Denise! I hope they fix that problem for you soon Helmut, I'm always tickled when words can touch someone or make a difference. But hey, 2 footprints is the Lord carrying you, and you couldn't be in a safer place. Though I do know what you mean. I need that kick every once in a while too, actually a lot lately Marge if I can start your day off like that, then it does me proud Butterfly thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! |

Sandgrain thanks so much Danny I thank you for such a nice compliment, made my day Irie, if it can lift someone from the dumps, then it's served it's purpose! I'm ecstatic if it can lift or touch someone! [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 07-08-2000).] |

it's great to know that you are so in touch with God. It does feel exactly like you've made it sound. sometimes were at the bottom of the Pit...next thing you know...someone pulls you out...and never lets you fall again. I loved your poem. miriam miriam coronado |

Seven years later, this one still deserves to be read and shared~ Our Dovie is no longer with us, but Heaven is now richer for her angelic presence~ Dovie didn't just 'write' her faith ... she lived it~ Sincerest *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
