All my fears faded, if only for a while Though it was dark and stormy, the tempest winds flew In that darkest moment, I knew I'd make it through I felt that peaceful smile, shine down from above All in an instant, I was flooded with His love The storm was not yet over, had a fight ahead I had to take hold of, the Bible words I'd read Remember that He loves you, He shall never leave Cast your cares upon Him, and in His name believe He's the breath that I breathe, the Rock of Salvation He's the Lord Almighty, God of all creation So when your tempest hits, and darkness is around Know that God is with you, and feel His peace deep down Know that you can make it, that God will keep you strong The darkness will fade and the Light will come along |

Whtdove, this made me feel better all of a sudden!! Your poem inspired me to remember the one above!! Thank You!! This was truly one of your best!! I haven't been around for awhile but I always seem to return to Passions!! Nice reading your poetry again!! Bridgette  "Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." -Unknown |

I can imagine this one a hymn in church. I admire your faith -- I have faith, too, but mine, I'm afraid, isn't nearly as open as it could be. I'm not even sure I want it as open as yours is -- I'm not sure why; I really enjoyed this, though. Mike |

Oh, Becky, I love this poem and it must be in the book. "He's the breath that I breathe". Magnificent! Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ellie LeJeune |

Beautiful and all so true The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Oh Sea, I'm sorry to hear about that. I'm glad it touched you though. He is there, he knows what's going on, and He promised us He takes care of our needs. He knows what we have need of before we ask. I shall keep you both in my prayers, and I'm sure God will direct you. Just look at it as a better opportunity coming along! |

So inspirational! Your writing touches people......in the most beautiful way possible. This is book material, but more importantly, Life material! The first and best poetry book ever written was the Bible. It's nice to be reminded of that. ~~wonderful writing~~ A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
