Radiance

Its one of those days
They seem to happen often
Not enough time
My eyes are having trouble staying open

Class seems like a chore
Uneventful, uninspiring learning
I try not to snore
And my stomach is turning

The weather is cold and raining of course
The grade on my test shows no remorse
To much time is the problem now
Time plays games and likes to slow down
Entertaining my mind is the goal
Distracting my thoughts until I can go

Yet in my complaining, the sun breaks through
Creating a solution for my dreary mood
The radiance of the sun demands a choice
To stay in sorrow or experience the joy
Not choosing at all is a choice indeed
Because we don't know what its like to be free

I see the fence where I must stand
No sitting in between, my feet must land
Reminded of my sorrows I turn back and see
The things I dislike and hate about me

Then I hear a voice in my ear
He said son, don't be afraid I am near
Don't look back at the fear and strife
I am the radiance, and I am life

  1. I love your blog. This poem specifically touched my heart. He really is our freedom. In Him I find my peace that surpasses all understanding. Lately He has been helping me to work on this very thing....choosing joy. Even when the rain is pouring down and life seems to be falling apart, He holds me together and I smile. Thanks for sharing this with me.
