It seems there are times when life is so cool
But other times life can be very cruel-
Whichever the case, it's human, you see,
To do what we can to keep harmony!
We fix this and that, and put on a smile,
Yet knowing our hearts are sad all the while-
We pray and confess, believe beyond doubt,
That given some time God will work it out!
We fear that our faith may not see us through
And having done all, what else can we do?
God gives some relief and so we hold on,
Just waiting until the problem is gone!
Alas! from above, a voice that we know,
Speaks firmly & says,Don't hold just let go!'
For when we let go, we give God free reign
To work in our lives, removing the pain!
Accept letting go as part of God's plan,
Be real with ourselves, as only we can-
Solutions will come and then we will know,
The best thing that we could do was 'let go'!
Great poem Donna. Learning to "let go" is one of life's hardest lessons, but once learned life becomes so much easier. I've learned the hard way the He is in control and not me. And also that when we face those brick walls of life that it may be at the last minute but He will always knock them down for us.

First Edition Translation of Teselas by Carmen Crespo X111 César Simón Poetry Prixe 2016 Translated from Spanish by Robin Ouzman Hislop and Amparo Arrospíde
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
