Poetry Monday
(cause y'all really don't wanna hear about my learning all the innies and outties of Photoshop)
Turn Your Eyes Toward Heaven
When emptiness surrounds you
and you wonder what life is for...
When you hear a constant knocking
but there's no one at your door...
When all life's simple pleasures
only leave you wanting more...
Turn your eyes toward heaven
feel your spirit start to soar.
When heartache seems to follow
down every hopeful road...
When every minor task
turns into a heavy load...
When your days of hopes and promises
now resemble days of Job...
Turn your eyes toward heaven,
Someone's paid the debts you owed.
For there's Someone who is waiting
day and night to draw you near.
He calls your name continuously ,
if you'd but only hear.
He shines His light on darkness,
gives you joy and peace for fear.
If you'll turn your eyes toward heaven
you'll find Gods only Son is here.
He takes away the hopelessness
you've harbored for so long.
He turns your cries of loneliness
into a joyful song.
He forgives you of your weaknesses
and remembers not your wrongs.
Turn your eyes toward heaven,
you're headed home, where you belong.

Hugs.

Very nice....but I probably could have handled another rant on photoshop....lol
Very nice, Kathi. I liked that a lot.
Write the book, Kath, write the book....
sable ~ thanks, darlin. Again, good to see you back.
tom ~ act the part, tom, act the part. LOL...see you didn't comment on your piece below. Shy?
Very beautiful post, but I did enjoy the anger as well.
casually me ~ MEN...oh, and thanks. :)
Shy, me? No daring, just basking in the afterglow. This was an experiment in stress relief. That was the third painting I've ever done in my life and of course, I see all the flaws. I'm a little stunned that it was well received. Now what about that book?
tom ~ WHAT book??
Tears, tears. That was so lovely Kathi, so wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing that.
Nice work, Kathi. I'm going to pass this on to a few people.
nikki ~ Thank you sweetie, but why the tears? You need to post, been awhile.
kyuball ~ thanks, that's the best compliment I can imagine.
The book you have in you just itching to get out. Don't tell me you can't hear it (cos I can).
WOW...thats all I can say.
I suppose I can also say, I hope you arent suffering from boils and such.
Because it was so beautiful, and it touched me.
Such a great uplifting post! :)
finally, I can see the blogs. Great poem, sweetie!
tom ~ HA!!
blackops ~ not sure what you mean by wow, but I'll take it as good.
shannon ~ very kind, thank you!
nikki ~ you're so sweet, hon. Wasn't meant to make ya cry...meant to give hope and joy.
kelli ~ thank you ever so much.
leesa ~ what'cha mean 'finally can see the blogs'? Thanks for the compliment.
reading the poetry was a delight !!
Omigoodness Kathi. That poem is absolutely beautiful. I mean, wow. I am loving that poem. I am two seconds away from printing that out and framing it. I loved it. It is so uplifting. You need to add poetry to your photo blog. That way, we would have the best of both worlds and go and read it anytime. I love it.
nabeel ~ thanks so much.
gp ~ so, bottom line...did you like it? J/K...thanks hon, really.
that was a beautiful poem and something I need constantly reminded of...thanks for posting this.
I didn't actually cry, just got a little teary eyed :)
Tom is right, there is a book in there somewhere and probably many more once you start writing.
Great poem!
That was very nice!
