Thought Waves Afloat on the glistening seas Of wonderful, happy memories The undertow seems nonexistent Forgotten, behind and distant In some triggered wave I’m caught Sinking in emotional thought Trapped in sharp heart piercing reef Drowning in opened wounds of grief Jesus calls, “You of little faith, Don’t you know with me, they’re safe?” Believing, I surface easily Once again, my Lord saves me |

Sandgrain, You have written a most beautiful analogy here between the waves and your thoughts. I am reminded by your poem that the Lord is our Refuge. I'm so glad that He does save us and it is such a blessing, as your poem states, to be able to "surface" in Him and under His gentle loving care. Enjoyed reading. God bless, -Bob |

Thanks to each for reading and responding. Marge, the beauty found on these pages helps me keep my faith Bob, indeed it's a big relief from fears and woes as we come under our heavenly Father's comfort. Joyce, seems I'm more touched by His faithfulness when we get down. Each of you inspire me. |

Well now, I don't have a doubt in my mind that they are not quite safe with him, but it is reassuring to feel you have been given a nudge to further enforce your belief in that fact too isn't it? |

Oh, Sharon, my angel. You've helped me surface so many times. I'm really doing okay dealing with their deaths, but you know how it is every once in a while some silly little thing can trigger the opening of the wound. Thanks for all your support. Rae |

Thank you for your kind comment, Margherita. I always feel so honored when you really good poets take time to read my ramblings. |
