When Gray skies abound

Just in case you worry. I feel no depression today. Last night was our family get together and we had a glorious time. Today I seem to have a cold but they come and go. The skies are gray and we seem to equate this withdespression. That is why I wrote the following poem. It is a reminder that nothing is as dark as it seems. The picture here is our Christmas Tree. Pretty, huh?


Poem Artwork

Everybody has days like this; when gray skies abound.


Everyone knows the blues can hit without reason and with no sound.


 


Then those skies turn gray and all seems dark this is the time to pray.


Simply look through the fog and mist and you will truly find the way.


 


Depression comes upon us all; sometimes with no apparent reason why.


Disappointment, despair brings with it despondency to trap you into the doldrums from which it is hard to rise.


 


You can escape this unhappiness and discouragement by looking past the problem at hand.


Simply lay your dreariness on the shoulders of the Lord and he will help you stand.


 


 


The more melancholia you feel the more you raise your voice above.


God knows your needs and his strong hands will heal your soul with immaculate love.

What a beautiful write my friend, I am feeling a bit depressed today...so this poem touched me deeply. Nothing really wrong, my husband is rabbit hunting, both children are out with their spouses and mom's at home alone watching Christmas movies...well I shouldn't say depressed just a bit lonesome...so what should happen I open my laptop and the first poem I read here at home at the den is this moving write...thank you dear friend...merry Christmas!
Blessings from Ky,

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
