Keeping the Light On

Darkness fills the earth

As evils seem to birth.

Sad hearts everywhere

Looking for a bit of love and care…

Wondering their worth.

 

Turmoil looms

As depression consumes.

Rearing its ugly head,

Demanding to be fed.

Blocking out the truth.

 

Faced with challenges so big,

Forced to look inside of yourself and dig.

For keeping the light on allows God to shine

Over your trials and lights the darkest night.

Pray until sorrows are rid.

 

Let it all out,

Even with a shout.

For cries before the Lord

Are better than a thousand words.

In Him there’s no doubt.

 

Carry on, for you’re not alone,

Carry on, so God’s love is shone.

Carry on, others are counting on you

To show them Truth

By keeping the light on.

the battle of good and evil has been going on since god kicked satan out of heaven
you wrote a great write ,if man would pray the evil would go away
and it seems the world has turned away from god

[Melinda McQueen]

You are right. I wish more people would turn to God. But hey, God is still on his throne.

[wordman]

the bible says they will turn away,and they are in droves
but in september there will be a lot of things happen that will bring them back

[Melinda McQueen]

Yep, He has a plan!

This is lovely, uplifting and inspiring poem. I'm not religious, but I appreciate this piece nonetheless.
I loved how dark it was at the beginning, and then it felt like a tunnel with a light at the end slowly getting bigger...
Anyway, nice work! :D
