Isa.26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You
In case you missed a few of the previous posts, an update:
My brother Lewis and his wife are passing through some storms of life.
Their almost 15 yr. old daughter suffered extensive injuries
in an accident on the weekend.
While they stayed with her, Lewis's wife's mom passed away
last night after a battle with cancer!
My sister-in-law suffered the angst of a mother wanting to be with her daughter,
and of a daughter wanting to be with her mother!🙏💔
Tango of mango and merlot, cotton-candy pink
Draws a world of eyes toward dawn’s mercy-immersed brink
Where time's twirl, so full of troubles takes its tender toll
On the body (but the chariot of the deathless soul)
Often we are prone to cater to Self’s dying dust
Rather than our Creator in whom we may trust
He is faithful though we do not understand His ways
Never does He break a promise (this world oft betrays)
Yet we are prone to seek answers not found in His Word
Doubting His love-letters because acumen is blurred
He, who unfetters each morning, like a world-wide barge
Bearing on life’s sea of learning (His most precious charge)
Once again, we embark where uncharted highs and lows
Wait to test our ways of thinking with what grace bestows
As tangos of mango, merlot, cotton candy pink
Fade, never the Giver’s love (no matter what we think)

Love all your poetry; but this will be a favourite. Succinct; yet rich with beauty, truth and hope. Thank you. Praying on for your sister-in-law and brother.
ReplyDeleteDear Marie, thank-you for the blessing of your kind words. Praying that prayers make all the difference in their storm and that because of them they are 'walking on the waters'<3
