Sometimes . . .
A heart and soul experience nothing but emptiness
Searching for a life overflowing with more happiness
Family and friends stop over, sharing bushels of love
Extending God’s righteousness, working from above
Sometimes . . .
A body no longer feels as young as it once was
Declining, outdated, and ancient, just because
Changes in a lifestyle produce renewal of life
Experiencing energy again, without the strife
Sometimes . . .
The day fills with shadows of darkness, without light
Questioning why this life no longer continues to fight
Next day’s sunrise brings a sustaining change
Illuminating the way, because God is His name
Sometimes . . .
This job generates nothing, only constant distress
Feeling passed over by others who perform less
Then one day, opportunity knocks at the door
Receiving that promotion, evens up the score
Sometimes . . .
Life feels like walking the treadmill all day
Ending out of breath, with nothing to say
Faithfulness enters a heart with a new intention
Accepting God’s grace, a total transformation
When life brings us challenges, our faith is sometimes challenged. We just need to remember that our God is a righteous and faithful one filled with immense love and thanksgiving.
Here are some previously published poems that explore a variety of life’s challenges. May we always remain faithful towards our Lord.
