From Leah; A 1993 Poem. “Wondrous Love”

Are you there, I asked in the dark of night,

With nothing visible, all held from my sight?

I thought it was a whisper, but ‘twas only the wind,

Gentle and fragrant as I asked again, are you with me?

Are you close by?

Still lay no sound but the oceans dark tide.

A teardrop trickled down my face,

as loneliness took me into its embrace.

‘Twas then that He spoke so sweetly to me,

And reminded me of the promises the He’d made to me.

“I’ll never leave you or forsake you my child,

For wherever you go, I’ll be there as a lamp unto your feet,

And a light unto your path, thus cast all your cares upon me…JUST ASK.”

A smile crossed my face as I then beheld the beauty of that moment,

The beauty of His wondrous love, it was that which I felt.

For now as I looked at the once dark and ominous sea.

Glorious shimmers of the full moons light,

now kissed the waves as they too rose in delight.

They also felt my Saviors’ presence as I knelt there humble before the King.

He my savior who had promised to share the treasures of heaven with me.

Oh to share with Him such an abundant life, upon this earth.

Oh such an awesome thought that He gave His all for me, so that I,

may forever one day be with Him throughout eternity.
