At any moment, at any time,
My life can be turned completely upside down,
At any second on any given day,
Material possessions may simply go away,
Friends come and go, others hang on strong
Some just want to see what you’re doing wrong,
Why do I fret and why should I fear?
When I can simply whisper in God’s unchanging ear,
Do I really trust him as I say I do?
Or am I simply reciting words as the preacher told me to?
He hears my plea, He knows my pain,
It is He who gives me strength thru life’s floods and torrential rain
People will laugh, lie, talk and play,
Never bothering to ask “ Sister-How was your day? Are you ok”
What is it then that I know is mine?
It is not my life, family, possessions or friends,
It is not the love people claim to give,
What is it then that I know is mine
It’s the smile on my face when God says yes child you’re surely mine.
And I am his.-Authored by AJ
You’ve got a sister smiling over here! This is lovely…and speaks directly to my heart!
Very nice!
Thanks – it was my first stab at poetry in too many years to document…LOL
