Whispered Truth

I sit and stare out the window.
My soul finds peace in the knowledge
Of Truth held so tightly.
Truth of simple things most forgot
Long ago.

The truth of patience, and waiting,
And smiling through all of the pain.
Truth of silence, knowing
That what is just around the bend
Won't Last.

Truth calms me in the sweet knowledge
Of joy after the pain of life.
Joy that can't be taken
By bitterness that's crouching near
Waiting.

Though pain and bitterness may try
To gain a foothold in my life.
I stand with Truth and the
Simple whisper of Love that calms
My soul.

Amazing, Lindsey. I can relate to the sentiments in the poem... it's very comforting. It reminds me of Psalms.

Thank you. Yes, it does have some of the themes of David's heart. I just stand amazed at the power the simple presence of God's love has to keep us going in EVERY situation.
