It’s never just right!

I started working on this to simply have fun with words. I also was having a little fun with our ability to find something to complain about. It seems we do that better than anything. God will not allow me to even have fun unless I am willing to let him have some too. Hence this light-hearted poem became more spiritual than I intended.


Poem Artwork

 


 


All winter long we complain about the cold and the snow.


In the spring we get hay fever as particles of pollen come and go.


 


In the summer it just too dang hot for us to take.


We feel like much more of this and we will surely bake.


 


Then God blesses us with relief from the heat as it turns to fall.


What do we notice?  More pollen, that’s all.


 


Before we know it snow is falling again,


The temperature has dropped and we feel the cold wind.


 


Come spring, summer, winter or fall.


We have found that we are caught up in it all.


 


Then comes another… then another and another.


The cold winter makes us freeze and in summer we smother.


 


The spring and the fall bring flowers and ruby leaves which will soon go.


The winter brings blankets of heavenly white snow.


 


Man is a strange creature and surely God must wonder


Why he created man who quakes at the thunder.


 


He hides from the wondrous flashes of lightning in the sky.


He is constantly complain and asking God why?


 


In his patience God will ask, “Why what, my child?”


“I once gave you a perfect world, it is now defiled.”


 


“Will you not at least look for the good in each day?”
“There is a road leading to Heaven.  You will find it that way.

You sure do come up with some of the most Beautiful pictures Lew!
And as always another beautiful poem to go with it.

Just jumping in for a moment doing a little catch-up before the funeral Saturday. I wanted to thank you for your words and prayers.
Oh and the forgetful thing...look here I'm only 42 well...not quite.
However I do know what you mean, I have had The Most Beauiful of poems go thru my mind at times and the never make it to pen and paper.
I finally ask the Lord concerning this, and this was His reply to me:
These are Mine My son; the best of the best, without spot or blemish!
I was Awestruck! But said: O.K. Lord. And learned to live with it.

God Bless you Brother. -Spirit Warrior

BRAVO! I like this one, Lew. Breathtaking photo. With all the beauty in our world, I just don't understand why ungrateful man can't stop long enough to appreciate. Too much hurry, hurry...where they're going boggles my mind. Great write. Loved it!

God Bless
Much love

We are a strange creature...and hard to satisfy sometimes, most of the time! Beautiful photo, stunning is a better word. Enjoyed the write, reminds one to take one day at a time and to appreciate each day. I read your blog a few moments ago about forgetting, it happens to us all. Sometimes, I think we just have too many other things going on in our thoughts, pushing our ideas right out. I recently bought one of those little voice recorder gadgets, you know the ones on the commercials where the lady is trying to find her car in the parking lot. Well, I never really had trouble finding my vehicle, but have lost many great ideas for poems and stories, but not since I bought this ten dollar little wonder. If you can't find it anywhere else, Avon has them. That's where I bought my handy little helper. They are small enough to carry in your pocket! Anyway, great write, glad to see you posting!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

No...your right...The human spirit never satisfies...and it is then, that we should realize that nothing on this earth is perfect, only in heaven...but to get as close as we can...be thankful throughout all seasons and find the blessings and the goodness in all thats offered, realize what you need, moreso than what you want!
Great thought-provoking write and an inspiration for all!
Hope you feeling better and taking good care of yourself! :)
Love and Peace~
