As I was reading a friends post this morning, Welcome to the mad house, I was reminded of a poem I wrote in 2004. Fi’s openness about a turning point in her life and her courage to share inspired me to dig out and share my poem. Thanks Fi. x
Look Above
by Alienhippy (Sept 04)
As time goes by we see courage
From people we know or we love
When we’re least expecting to see it
We see someone we know turn above
A person gets strength from believing
And encouragement from feeling their worth
In times of trial, we curl up and cry
This instinct we are given at birth
To take all our problems inward
Makes our hearts break our minds ache
To give in to prayers and petitions
Is the thing we should do as we wake
The fear we feel of the unknown
Is what makes us take on all our woes
But when we learn to trust in the Lord
The worry and pressure….. it goes
God gave us His Son our example
For our sins he felt pain on the cross
So when we are lost and don’t know where to turn
We should follow our saviour….. Jesus
Heaven Bound (created using Apophysis)
Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.
I love this poem. It’s an inspirational reminder that when we are troubled or anxious that we can pray. Thank you
Beautiful! This is an absolutely amazing poem.
I am linking to my blog as we agreed
Cheers

It might be a silly question….but how do I do trackbacks and/or pingbacks? I’m a bit technologically challenged!
