POEM FROM THE HEART

My life is so confusing
My heart is so torn out
A piece of me is missing
Why can't I sort it out?

I've searched throughout my mind
And dug all through my past
The answers just won't surface
The days go by too fast.

There is always so much turmoil
It never seems to cease
But if I reach down deep inside
I find an inner peace.

Everyday's so stressful
There is so much stuff to do
At the end of every day
I'm amazed I made it through.

I ask myself a question
And I think with all my might
"What gets me through a day like this,
What helps me win the fight?"

My answer always stays the same
I always thank God first
"Thank you, Lord, so very much,
If not for you I'd burst."

He comforts me and says
That I deserve the best
He praises me and lets me know
I've passed the "daily test".

"Trish, you are so special,
Don't ever have a fear
Continue down my little path
And it will eventually seem clear.

Your life will soon shape up
And you won't regret a day
As long as I am first
There will be nothing in your way."

I say, "But Lord I'm sensitive
Why can't you make it simple?"
I always say my prayers at night
And I worship in your temple."

That's the easy part," He says
The harder parts take longer.
"I do this not to punish you
But just to make you stronger."

"After all, if saying prayers
Is honestly your best,
Whenever each day ended
You couldn't claim you'd passed a test."

"Tests take time and wisdom
The wisdom comes from Me
I will make your life lots better
Just follow Me - YOU'LL SEE!!!"

I tell Him that I trust Him
And I beg Him to be true
I close my prayers for the night
And sleep so soundly too.

The morning comes so quickly
"I'm ready to take a stand
Let's face the day together, Lord,
Let's face it hand in hand."
