Poems For The Soul

XCVIII.

The Love and Power of the Most High

We once perceived this world as beautiful;

Now everywhere we turn, there is trouble;

Chaos and wickedness are seen in our daily lives;

Gone are the twinkles from our eyes.

For we have become aware of the ways

Of this earth; hatred between many a race;

Betrayal and inflictions fueled by carnal desires;

Numerous mouths quick to spit fire.

Who should we turn to amid all this uncertainty?

How do we embark on a parade of victory

And find the gift that is genuine serenity,

When day by day, we are bombarded with adversity?

The answer lies in the Holy Scriptures,

The divine truth, the pristine Word

Of the one and only living God;

It is Him alone that we should trust.

Without any difficulty, He can put an end

To each and every one of our problems;

And while people make promises only to break them,

God remains by our side every moment.

Hence, let us put all of our matters

In the Mighty Hands of the Father;

For blessed are those who place their hope

In no one, but the Most High alone.

God will guide us every step of the way;

And every breath that we take

Will no longer be shaky; for our doubts

Shall vanish upon witnessing His power.
