This poem was started in my head on the drive to work this morning. Now I can get some work done. Have a blessed day all and thanks for visiting with me :o) ***************************************** I look around me from left to right. The world is dark with little bright. I gaze to the East, searching wide Not even a glimmer here was even spied My eyes shifted West, hoping, praying The worries deep and heavy laying But nothing showed in the stifling dark This world gone bad has missed the mark. I sought the South where the whales swam But even there no beacon ran My heart was heavy and filled with sadness at the children who were used to madness I turned to seek a beam of light In the cold clear North of brilliant white But stained with oil and blood and tears This lovely place was filled with fears. I stooped and sat and bowed my head And to my God anguished tears I shed What have we done with the gift of life the beautiful earth has turned to strife. I focused above and deep within Set free by Jesus I�m not slaved to sin. I prayed and asked the Lord to come I prayed and asked His will be done It hurt to see so many friends lost and hurting with torn loose ends I prayed that they might see the light Shining forth with His powerful might I felt a peace flow from His love and warm my heart right from above It glowed and heated the worry away It shone so bright, kept the dark at bay I felt a touch upon my hand I had to rise, straighten up and stand The light still glowed way deep inside And to my left, right at my side. I turned and looked and sought the source What could it be... oh yes! Of course! There was Jesus, His face aglow I love you my child, you already know! You carry the light if you love me true so spread the beam by being you Others do seek just as you did Show them the light, don't keep it hid Walk in My ways, I'll lead you right Sometimes you'll stumble, you may have to fight. Just look to Me and I'll carry you through Because My child. I really love you! He wrapped me tight in His embrace No longer alone would I have to face This dark cruel world of satan's domain If in His embrace I would only remain.
