PONDERING

The night is at an end welcomed
is a brand new morn
Sleep evades me - an emotional 

battle has been born
A sense of loss has settled in
Sound of the crashing thunder
has me pondering
Gazing out the bedroom window
I close my eyes and hear a gentle
water flow
The rain lightly taps against
the window glass
Lost in thought aware the storm
will come to pass
Reminiscing over years gone by
Letting forth a heartfelt sigh
All hurts and anger there is no more
For I left them at heavens door
Embracing change accepting all
things new
Memories of yesteryear have paid
their due
Deep within my heart they will
always be
Resurfacing only to comfort me
This present day is but for
me a gift
Prayer my edification when I need
a lift
I therefore endeavor to have no fear
For my path ahead has been made
abundantly clear...
