The whole world is seeking one who understands
A million prayers rise upward from the sod
If they would only listen as they speak
Out of the silence they would hear you, Dear God
The sad who seek to find you through their tears
The broken hearts crying out in agony and pain
You've always been there through toil and strife
Faith of a mustard seed is but a tiny grain
Though mountains are high and valleys low
There is splendor above and light over head
You've heard each cry and saw each tear
And every prayer that's been spoken or said
The human heart you placed within the breast
Set there to run untouched from birth to death
Is where faith should dwell and laughter ring
Every day and night as long as there is breath
All the promises you made should stand above
A world of despair and cries should not dismay
You are the rock from which we should stand
Those who seek the highest shall never lose their way

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately to visit your posts. I'm still battling this pesky flu like bug. I will get to you eventually, it may take a little more time but I'm gonna kick his behind...LOL. I personally think it will last till spring. That's what everyone is saying around here anyways... I hope all is well with you all. Take care and God Bless. Susie

ReplyDeleteThank you Mildred.
DeleteVery touching poem, Susie. Sorry to hear you're not feeling up to par! I've felt a bit blue during all the cold and dreary days but no flu bugs as of yet. God bless!
ReplyDeleteThank you Charlotte and I'm so glad to hear it's not to bad in your neck of the woods. I hope it doesn't arrive.
DeleteBeautiful words Susie! I had some kind of bug after Thanksgiving and it lasted about a month. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth. Glad you're feeling lots better. A month is a long time to battle with it.Whewww
DeleteHi Susie! I'm so sorry to hear that you are still battling this flu. It has been so bad this year. We are getting hit down here with bad upper respiratory infections. My friend developed pneumonia and had to go into the hospital and be put on a respirator. She is home now, and I saw her yesterday. She has really had a rough time. So continue to take good care of yourself, it sure is worth it. Soon Spring will be here and everything will be warm and green again and all this sickness will "be like it never was" as my mama used to say. Susie, this poem is one of the most beautiful you have ever written. I especially love the first stanza, it is so inspiring. I hope you have a restful afternoon and don't worry about getting back to all of us, we understand. Just feel better real soon! With Love, Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Delisa. I'm so sorry to hear all of this. Will be sending healing thoughts and prayers. I hope you are doing better and take care of yourself.
DeleteLovely words! I hope you feel better soon, Susie.
ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy.
DeleteSometimes spring is the solution to all our woes...I hope you feel better sooner than that, but you know, there's nothing wrong with slowing down a bit, sometimes it does a body good:) Healthy cells my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lise. Yes, spring is the solution to it and not till.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem, Susie... Sorry that you are still battling the bug... Hope you start feeling MUCH better soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, God is our ROCK.... I feel God's presence wherever I am --but especially when we are hiking in the woods... Maybe it's because it is so quiet back there --and I can 'feel' God talking to me better there!
Hugs,
Betsy
Thanks Betsy and you are so right. He is with us always.
DeleteI hope that you feel better. I wish that I was there to get you some soup.
ReplyDeleteThe poem is beautiful and you must be brave to be able to post it in spite of your sickness.
Awww, that is so nice and thank you so much.
DeleteHe IS as close as the very air we breathe and will be found by us when we seek Him with our whole heart. Lovely Susie!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Yes he is.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you as well Sister. I truly enjoyed and felt your poem as I know it is all true. I have especially experienced that prayer for the past two years. He has been merciful and everlastingly good to me and my family and those I pray for.
ReplyDeleteThank you and God Bless you. We can't do anything without him. Yes, he sure is merciful.
DeletePraying you get well soon, Susie. Thank you for sharing the lovely poem and your continued inspiration. Hope book sales are still going well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Connie. I hope they are for you too. I'm enjoying mine so much.
