Strengthening peace

   Close my eyes I look forward
to the peace, the clarity of all
words circling in my mind.

   Standing still I breathe deeply.
Taking in the warm rays of
the sun. I know love enters my
senses. All sorrow exits and I
finally smile.

   No longer guessing, wondering
where all I was wrong. Jehovah
forgave me, I too, did the same.

   Opening my eyes I feel so happy
even when my trials push, stab me.
I still stand. My eyes might blink back
tears, even might allow some to make
wet trails down my cheeks. I am
still strengthened and given courage.

  Holding back my words are wrong.
I should be vocal. Jehovah wants me
to be joyous and give freely, willingly.
Oh how could anyone be sad in those
actions?

  A slight smile echoes over my lips.
A silent laugh erupts. So happy.
Always in need of my spiritual food.
Had I not fallen so bad I probably
would never have seen it, Jehovah
wanted me to see.

   I twirl in my room sparkling full of
sunshine, that whispers through the
ventian blinds.

   A low, long sigh of relief vibrates
throughout my soul. Tiny ripples of
childish giggles tickle my spirit. For this
I thank Jehovah for opening my
heart.

  Showing this soul, this conscience
that it is okay to love once more. Still,
yet, be alert of dangerous ones who
can trample, seize to destroy.

  I carry self protected with Jehovah's
holy spirit, else I would be lost,
wandering as though are of the world.

  I pray for those of the world, lost. Their
safe keeping, for their consciences, for
their "heart" to be opened. For the
darkness to end and the light, life they
have been searching for to come forth
with love, kindness and joy.

  Oh how I want to help everyone. I
must remember Jehovah is the real
helper. I only knock.

  Still I must remember, I too, need
guidance. Still growing. Still meek.
Still young. All that I am I recognize
the changes and the growth. Still
I find that, I too, need Jehovah.
Leaning upon Jehovah, I can move
forward, attain the knowledge and
strengthen my spirit.

  So I stretch once more. Give thanks
to the breath I took and amazing sights
that woke me from sleep. Am walking
forward. Hoping. Loving and always
forgiving of imperfection.

  Jehovah keeps strengthening me.
Jehovah sees, he hears. He knows me,
his daughter.
