Overwhelmed By Sadness
I awakened this morning to a brand new day;
sunshine blanketing the countryside;
but, a storm is brewing; and coming my way;
I’ve been overwhelmed; since peace died.
Peace is a meadow; beyond understanding;
an ocean; teeming with life;
love and obedience to the Master, commanding;
and the love of a husband and wife.
Joy is the ultimate peace reigning from above;
as a new dawn; conquers the night;
feeling the passions of the Master’s love;
freed from the passions of strife.
Suddenly; thunder, from the storm’s approach;
casting all my peace aside;
it seemed as tho evil had thundered his reproach;
my partner, in life, had died.
Though it had happened; many years ago;
the storms of memory are frightening;
sending its message that I dread to know;
death often strikes; like lightning.
Overwhelmed by sadness; I sought her above;
my emotions mired in sinking sand;
why did God take home, the one that I love;
things hadn’t turned out as I planned.
But, even storm clouds have a silver lining;
and I could sense God smiling above;
when the storm passes; I’m no longer pining;
God always returns our Love.
