Life can be like the sunshine and warm breezes but quickly turn stormy. An unwanted hot flash, and a million other things can rub me the wrong way. Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite. I'm all sunny one minute the next I'm not a very nice person. Happy that I don't have to be perfect but sometimes I wish I was a little farther down that path
Eager to be
eager to feel
eager to see
eager to knowthings of the Spirit
joy
peace
love
gratitude
Like the sun that shines so brightly
at times I do so
Like dark clouds scudding quickly
that can overcome the glow
Why do I let shadows creep in
and steal my heavenly peace
Love, take the place of pride
and make me see all living kind
inside of me, a part of me
by thy patient grace.
I've been thinking about that word, eager lately. such a great word. i really like that first line: eager to be. like a puppy or a baby--we have been drawing a lot of parallels between Dodo and puppies lately. I want to live eagerly. thanks for the poem mom
ReplyDeleteThat's neat that you like the first line, it meant a lot as I first wrote it and then by the end I was wondering if it fit. So thanks for the feedback:)
ReplyDeleteBaby Dot is like a puppy? That sounds like a poem in the making!
