For many years, I suffered with a horrible disease. Now, through the love and support of God, and all my wonderful family members, I am free and able to enjoy all the goodness of life. The other day I was just enjoying the beautiful world, and a poem came to me. This happens to me a lot, and I just thought maybe someone out there needs to feel free today as well. So I am posting my poem, to share with you if you are in any sort of a mental or spiritual bind. Know that the Love of God can set you free as well. Trust in God for your life situation and He will bring the best to bear. We may not always understand the things that happen, but we can trust our Heavenly Father, and He will make all things right. Here then, is the poem:
FREEDOM
Be free, free bird, fly, fly away.
Grasp nothing in your claw or beak,
simply enjoy the day.
Rush no more to & fro
busy about many things,
simply feel the wind as you
expand and lift on high your wings.
The sun awaits up in the sky
the day has dawned anew
and all the beauy of the earth
was fashioned just for you.
No more the dull clothes of yesterday
no more the endless tears
but freedom now, my lovely bird,
and notice not the years.
A place of great expansion now
is your to embrace anew!
And never again will you doubt yourself,
the girl in the mirror is you!
With the disease I had, I could sometimes look in the mirror and not even recognize myself. Now, I know that the peace that looks back at me is mine to keep forever. Nothing in my past has the power to conquor me ever again, and my life is now mine to enjoy, and to share the wonders of God's wonderful Love and Peace. "What He has done for others, He will do for You! With arms wide open, he'll comfort you, it is no secret what God Can Do." My Mom and Dad use to sing this song when they were going to church. It brings comfort to my heart and I hope they are both enjoying Heaven with Jesus. If you are alone today, or worried about many things, give the burdens to Jesus, and He will give YOU wings!
Freedom brought to mind a song I used to have on a 45 -- pretty different from your lovely poem, but I do still like it after all these years. http://maedeans.blogspot.com/2009/12/freedom-for-stallion.html I also have a blog post on not worrying, which you touch on in this post as well. http://maedeans.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-worry.html
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. I also read your post about not worrying. If we could incorporate that into our lives, how much better off we'd all be! My husband doesn't seem to have a "worried bone" in his body. He knows how to get the most out of every day and I am still learning this lesson. I needed to read your post today. There's nothing to worry about. God is in Control! Thanks again, and I will be checking out your new post as well!
