Abiding Peace

Abiding Peace

An Original Work / October 29, 2018

Pain and sorrow

Know no bounds.

Joy and laughter

Oft not found.

Life depressing,

Oft distressing,

Yields no blessing,

So unresting.

Trials often

Multiply.

Friends are often

Passersby.

Friendships failing,

Foes are railing,

Hypocrites, they’re

Often bailing.

Feel abandoned,

Left behind,

By those who don’t

Know they’re blind.

Boats are sinking,

Folks not thinking,

Eyes are blinking,

Friends are finking.

Answers now are

Hard to find.

Thieves and liars,

One of kind.

Fires burning,

Stomachs churning,

None returning,

Are we learning?

Difficulties

All around.

Someone honest,

Hardly found.

Lies, deceptions,

Few exceptions,

Thus, conceptions

Are rejections.

Hope, though, is not

Out of reach.

Jesus Christ we

Often preach.

Sacrificing,

His blood buying

No more trying,

Blood applying.

Joy and laughter

Once again.

Jesus Christ now

Is our friend.

To Him listen,

Eyes will glisten.

He’s insistent

You’re persistent.

Trusting Him with

All your life.

Give your heart not

Up to strife.

Satisfying,

Sanctifying,

No more crying,

Peace abiding.
