A Single Hour to My Life As I lie here, Eyes wide open, Troubles come, A devil’s token. My mind rushes revisiting the day, Going over everything As I pray…. Questioning worries Consume my mind How do I leave This chaos behind? My thoughts wander My focus lost, Whispers to God Hushed at what cost. Too much thinking Has stolen my sleep Prayers forgotten As I silently weep. Then like a memo Taped into my brain Jesus’ voice Lessens my pain. Who of you by worrying, can add a single hour to his life?" as I slip into dreams These are yours, God. Good night. |

About the Poet
I am a Christan mother, grandmother, wife, aspiring poet, and owner of a bed and breakfast with my husband of 37 years. I love to create an ambience of serenity in my home. I love soft music, the sounds of the birds in my yard, the whir of the ceiling fans,...
Time has passed since the first time I wrote my Poet Bio...it has been three years now....in that time my life has changed drastically. We lost our beloved youngest child, our only son, to suicide. It has been devastating...shaking my faith to its core but not destroying it. I have not been inspired to write for quite some time now. I pray that I will be able to emerge from this pain and write with a new passion about my journey. Until that time I ask for prayers and that God will continue to speak to me and give me the peace that passes all understanding.
