1. Just A Vapor
Life is but a vapor
Life is but a mist
We are merely moving shadows
At best, we are a breath
To have faith is to defy logic. It takes faith to think positively. It takes faith to believe that there is a loving God who cares deeply about our pain. To believe in life, the universe, or yourself after numerous failures is to have courage. Faith is an act of courage. It is choosing to get up in the morning and face our fears and believe that God will help us. Faith is choosing to believe that even though we may have failed one hundred times before that we can succeed the next time.
Life is but a vapor
Life is but a mist
We are merely moving shadows
At best, we are a breath

If I provoke a smile, hear laughter rise,
Bring a sparkle into someone's eyes,
If I ease the loneliness of one soul,
Wipe away a tear, a broken heart console,

When my hope fades
and all my dreams die,
and I find no answer
by asking the Lord why,
I felt like I was falling
Off of a very steep cliff
And I just kept on tumbling
Into an unknown abyss
I once suffered from un-forgiveness. Through time, I learned that it was poisoning my soul with bitterness. I identify with this poem very much and found the same blessed release when I...
What are miracles, from where do they
come?
How do we trust what we can't see
or touch?
our weeping may only endure
for the night, but
even when joy finally drapes
our sunrise
Lovely poem that touched my heart. God is always with us. He hears every prayer.
no matter how weary
she kept pouring
but her cup never ran dry, for God
I stand in a stream of madness
And take a moment to still my fears.
In the aisles of dreams and sadness,
You were there throughout the years.
A new day is beginning.
Burnt orange hues
Color the distant skies.
Dew drops, a glistening symphony
Fueling your faith
In what you've got within...
In your God-given gift,
It's a wonderful thing.
No matter what happens in my life,
Sorrow or joy, rain or shine,
Whatever befalls me, it's all right
Because in Jesus I abide.
Rest, my soul, in God's love
as you live every day.
Relax in His faithfulness
as you go along your way.
Beautiful. If we would only do this, problems solved. Reading this will set one at peace.
Looking in the Eyes of Christ, see His love for us inside.
See the beauty of our lives, in the Eyes of Christ.
In times of doubts and fears, when the world brings us to tears,
God's love sets me free.
This is my victory song.
His grace is sufficient for me.
It is what keeps me strong.
I love this poem! So well written and very powerful.
Just between you and me, Lord, I'd like to say
It's not always easy to follow Your way.
I understand what you mean by the Golden Rule--
To create a good life, there is no better tool.
Such an inspirational write...If everyone on earth followed the Light, we'd then set all the wrongs to right. Imagine if every heart was filled with love and peace. What a wonderful place the...
Analysis of Form and Technique
There was a shepherd who fell fast asleep
So there was no one to see to his sheep.
The sheep were delighted, freedom at last
Followed the leader and ran away fast.
I love this poem. I send blessings to you, Beryl. The words mean so much for me, because I know that we are the sheep and also the shepherd. We need but recall our Spiritual Father, "God,"...
To my dear friends,
The memories we left behind
Are still fresh on my mind.
How God crossed our paths!
Sometimes I feel lost in a maze of emotions,
where every direction feels like a dead-end street.
I feel so alone in my search for an answer
that I start to blame God for not meeting my needs.
This poem is the same as my feelings. Almost every day I ask myself why I must face all these trials. I have been tired of life, but I realize God has a plan for me and for everybody. I have...
"Let go," He says. "Let go."
But my heart is stubborn, so I do not let go.
"What if it hurts?" I say.
"I know it will hurt," He says.
To me, this poem seems to be a symbolic one. “I” is ego and “He” is the Almighty. He advises again and again to let ego go. But “I” doesn't want to move further even to the extent of 1mm....
How I wish to trust
In life, no questions asked,
Hanging on God's words,
Confident and relaxed,
If we all followed the beautiful simple sentiment of the poem we wouldn't have half the troubles we have.
