Poem to share:

Broken Dreams

As children bring their broken toys

With tears for us to mend,

I brought my broken dreams to God,

Because He is my Friend

But then instead of leaving Him

In peace, to work alone,

I hung around and tried to help

With ways that were my own.

At last, I snatched them back and cried,

“How can you be so slow?”

“My child,” he said, “what could I do?

You never did let go”

Dreams Anew

And so my dreams I did let go

Hoping He was right,

I said goodbye, held my faith

Watched them to the Light.

When doubt would come and pain drew close

I pushed those thoughts away.

“God” I said, “I know you’re here”

And I began to pray.

I went about my day with trust

Knowing He was near,

Despite what ever would arise

I began to not have fear.

I made a point to stop looking

For my dreams to heal,

As long as I believed they would

He would make them real.

Until one day when I awoke

I could not quite explain,

Gone was any doubt I had

Gone was all the pain.

I cried out to Him with joy,

“Mended you my dream!”

“My child,” He said, “it was you and I,

We did it as a team.”

“You let me do what I know how

To tend and heal and love,

All I want for you all ways

Is to help you rise above.”

“I ask only in return,” He said

“To have an open mind,

An open heart, is all you need

To know what is divine.”
