Salvation Storm

Underneath the stormy skies

the doe protects the fawn

and purple martins hide in ferns

until the coming dawn

 

 

Umbrellas pop in multitude,

a rainbow on the square--

as mothers scoot their babies

under shelter everywhere

 

 

Each raindrop falls, like tears to earth

The Father sheds each one;

Cleansing all as He sees fit

until the job is done

 

 

The shadows of the storm

surrender to the calming light,

cascading hope on every life

while angels guard the night

There is beauty everywhere thanks to the grace of heaven's light... a wonderfully uplifting poem.

My favorite kind of light is the "Godlight" that you see when rays of sun burst through grey clouds......it delivers hope that darkness will not always prevail....thanks for reading! :)

thanks Ed.....in light of so much sorrow in our country this week, I'm happy to place my thoughts on the beauty that God still has here for us to see...should we choose to see it (and you always do! :)

Definitely like this one. I love "

Each raindrop falls, like tears to earth

The Father sheds each one;

Cleansing all as He sees fit

until the job is done."

And those tears, are tears of love. Only His love can cleanse us!
Well done.
