A Raining Of Tear Drops Fall

Off in the distance
lay purpled mountains
reaching for the heavens,
when one gazes upon them
it takes on the appearance
of a mans silhouette
facing towards God’s domain.

I often wonder if I were as large
would God hear my prayers more?
for a small and  simple
minded soul am I.

My faith in times past and
even now wavers greatly
but I keep upon bent knee
striving to be heard for even
one voice can move mountains
if from a sincere heart and
true seat of the soul.

I stand tall in times of plenty
forgetting my maker’s pledge
it seems to be one of mans traits
to walk with blinders when all is right,
when one can seemingly stand
a-foot on his own.

But in this time of dismay
if the eye could catch sight of
all the pleadings ascending to heaven
and tears drenching the earth’s crust
the soul would surely grow heavy
and weakened.

For an out-pouring of beseeching
has been thrust upon mankind,
for wicked men with evil actions
have plagued our total existence
capsizing our realities and so in
these days a raining of tear drops fall.  

Yet our maker is strong enough
for all burden and pain,
spent tears and diminishing of life
for in him all was created,
and in Him all shall be made right!

In this time of turmoil and unrest
may I remember that this is when
God is with me all of the time
never forsaking His promise
not making my portion more
than I can bear.

Should I fall lax in my devotion
I pray He touches my soul with
gentle reminder and shows me
plainly his love unending and true
for I am weak.

The sun now raised beyond the horizon  
obscuring my sight of the humble faces
peering to heavens realm,
I pray to God ceaselessly for
wisdom, faith and for
all of those in need of his comfort.

Amen


By, Cerenity

Your thoughts are some of the same that I have been thinking. You did a good job of expressing them.

A wonderful prayer.  

I too, can only say, "Amen".

Cerenity - amen I can say with others that have replied. You have written the following that I have read with sincerity, and HE will hear you, large or small.

And I often wonder if I were as large
would God hear my prayers more?
for a small and  simple
minded soul am I.

Cerenity this has gone into my library, and will be a favorite for a long time.  There is a song done called "Dance" and in it is a line, "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside an ocean".  I love the song and the message as I do in your poem, for all creatures big and small are heard.  I was waving myself, and he picked me up, so he does listen.  Wonderfully, inspiring poem, thank you.

Hi Everyone,

Over the past few weeks we have all had alot to think about and for me it was hard to come to grips with how I felt and the only avenue was to talk with God and to remember those that need our prayers, I want to thank all of you for your loving replys to this poem,

Love, Cerenity
