My Heart Sings

I walk alone, along a sandy beach, listening to the waves splash upon the shore...
And I know from deep within, life goes on forever more.


I saw the bright skies above, with drifting clouds of white...
I heard the sea gulls shrill cries, that thrilled me with delight.


The ocean roars on forever: How wide, how rippling, how deep...
Reminding me of God's pure love, that covers me, awake or asleep.


And when burdens overwhelm me, and I lose all my hope...
I hear His gentle whisper, and I know that I can cope.


Like the constant lapping waves, Jesus reaches for His own...
His healing touch refreshes, and I know that I'm never alone.


Why does it take the dark clouds, to remind us of His loving care?...
When in truth all we need to do, is breathe a thankful prayer.


As I walk along that sandy shore, my heart begins to sing...
I have a Savior, a dear Friend, and He's my everything!

It gives me a warm feeling in my heart to write poetry.  I am a "Golden Ager" shut-in and writing keeps my mind busy with something I've done ever since I was a child, and it's my way of sharing our LORD with who ever comes to visit.  Thanks for reading my poetry - I'd love to hear your comments.  May God richly bless you.  Send emails to:   EvaYoung @ SkyWriting.Net
