Reflections

Spiritual

Reflections The Day is drawing to an end Evening songs soon to begin To bring my day of what now is past Into memories made and shadows cast The clock is striking in the hall Its echo heard within the walls Of a heart that wonders of the sun After all the evenings songs are done Time is such a mysterious thing You never know of what it brings Laughter ... joy ... tears ... and fears Of days now past and a future near Babies sleeping in my arms Cherrios and Lucky Charms Now I lay me down to sleep Within my heart the memories deep Both now grown and on their way Joyous tears on wedding days A daughter's face so much like mine A  son's loving heart so warm and kind As I reflect upon my life Within the quiet of this night I see far more joys than tearful woes It just for now all seems so long ago When life's journey sings mournful songs Do not dwell on what seems so wrong Look confidently to the days ahead And remember of what our Lord has said Never will I give to you A burden that we can't get through For if you place your faith in me A brighter day you will soon see I claim this promise now to be read Upon this site to hearts now led That takes a moment to read the words Of my lifetime led and lessons learned Now I lay me down to sleep Touch my heart that now does weep Remind me of the promise made To guide me to the breaking day Now just as I am to say Amen Another promise Is made to him To put these words upon the page For you to read the promise made Perhaps today your heart too weeps As evening shadows slowly creep Bow your head and say a prayer You will find the Saviour waiting there A day ... a week ... a month ... some years Since you last came to him in prayer It is not too late to bow your head Just before you go off to bed Blessing Lesa aka Aspiring Angel

Very lovely Lesa and very timely as I'm feeling pretty 'stuck' at the moment!! :-))
Its so easy to get stuck in the negative. I guess the trick is in knowing when you're just stuck in a negative, victim place and when you are 'processing'.
Thank you for your inspirational reminders of help available...

My dear Lesa, for this is such a lovely presentation
more than lovely, it is so beautiful and so enlightening!
Beautiful words as the heart quietly ponders
you have graced us all with your wonderful talent!
I love this one of yours, it's reaps its own elegance
and beauty! So beautiful my friend! So gentle and soothing,
may be the song does one in...however, it's still awesome!!

What a beautiful presentation Lesa...kudos for that alone. Your poetry vibe leaps off the page
directly into your readers heart. So filled with joy, I can't tell you what a breath of fresh air you are.
I am honored to stand beside you as a fellow author. Your faith is strong and you are not afraid to share it.
I loved everything about this piece, I don't normally like rhyming (cha, cha, cha) but there are exceptions.
Love to you...
