With
God By My Side…
This morning I
awoke with God by my side
Took a deep
breath of sunshine
Life never
smelled this good before
With God as my
eyes everything looks better
My conscience
is clear, my spirit is free
I’m breathing
clean air and my mind is at peace
All my life
I’ve been in search of this, a feeling of Nirvana
A feeling, a
sense of wholeness, of being one with God
A feeling of
who I am and being at peace with that thought
The road
traveled has been a lonesome one,
Littered with
inner turmoil
Days and nights
rolled into one,
The only that
kept me going was the love of my son
And now here I
am with the heavenly father
Enjoying the
sights and sounds of nature
On the wings of
God a bird flies above
Gliding so
gracefully, so effortlessly, suspended in air
And I am awed
by this display of something indefinable
Yet so
majestically beautiful
Of how nature
takes on a life of its own…and I am blown away
All around me,
I see the hand of God in all his beautiful creations
In the middle
of the city, nature in harmony
In accord with
the will of God
If only
nature’s counterpart could learn this simple lesson of love
Here we are,
today, still divided by the issue of color
What does it
matter, who’s black or white
We should all
be judged by the love in our hearts
By the
integrity of our words
Our compassion
for the misfortune
Here we are
consumed by frivolous matters
If we paused
for a moment see ourselves as God’s children
Embrace each
other with compassion
Gaze upon each
other simply as sister, brother-simply human
In that moment
of spiritual awakening
There could be
a dawning of a new age
It all sounds
good in theory but is it applicable?
To the likes of
you and me
The future of
humanity rests on the shoulders of Generation Next
With God at my
side,
Momentarily I
put these earthly worries aside
A sunset so
beautiful mere words won’t suffice
To capture its
splendid beauty
Somewhere out
there, in this vast universe we call Earth
I take comfort
in knowing my eyes aren’t the only eyes
Enjoying
God’s latest work
Everyday that
we live, take time out to see beauty in our surroundings
A moment of
beauty should be revered,
A memory
treasured for eternity
With God at my
side, I can finally see the light.
