My Poem to share with you for this holiday season:
Broken Dreams
As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
Because He is my Friend
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace, to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried,
“How can you be so slow?”
“My child,” he said, “what could I do?
You never did let go”
Dreams Anew
And so my dreams I did let go
Hoping He was right,
I said goodbye, held my faith
Watched them to the Light.
When doubt would come and pain drew close
I pushed those thoughts away.
“God” I said, “I know you’re here”
And I began to pray.
I went about my day with trust
Knowing He was near,
Despite what ever would arise
I began to not have fear.
I made a point to stop looking
For my dreams to heal,
As long as I believed they would
He would make them real.
Until one day when I awoke
I could not quite explain,
Gone was any doubt I had
Gone was all the pain.
I cried out to Him with joy,
“Mended you my dream!”
“My child,” He said, “it was you and I,
We did it as a team.”
“You let me do what I know how
To tend and heal and love,
All I want for you all ways
Is to help you rise above.”
“I ask only in return,” He said
“To have an open mind,
An open heart, is all you need
To know what is divine.”
