A HUNDRED REASONS...

 

 

Thereare a hundred reasons

Why I feel so frightened and sad

When I look at the sky…

The darkness is one of them;

The deafening thunders

And blinding lightening

Are two more;

The fierce clouds

And the moonless night,

The burning Sun

And the angry wind,

The Stars that deceive,

The angels that fail,

The broken dreams,

The sorrow,

Pain.

And, there are another hundred reasons

Why I feel so happy and confident

When I look at the same sky…

God is one of them,

Hope is another,

Promise is yet another,

Trust is one more;

The billion stars

And the smiling Moon

Are two more,

The rain clouds

And the dancing breeze,

The guardian angel

And the waking dreams,

The tears of being forgiven, 

And warmth of being loved,

The thought of abundance,

The might of newness,

The peace of coming home,

The closeness,

Joy.
