This Morning My Spirit Cried (True Story)

This Morning My Spirit Cried (True Story)

A Poem by Lee Foreman
"

I wrote this poem during a time where my husband and I were going through hardships (financial) and I was at a lost. My great- grandmother spoke to me and said "Keep living, it gets better'.

"

This Morning My Spirit Cried (true story)

 

The cry was silent, enough for me to hear-

But strong enough for God to feel.

This morning my spirit cried;

I felt my eyes getting teary.

 

My spirit said “God, my body’s getting weary.”

I felt these tears steady flowing-

By my faith, MY faith kept on holding.

 

It wasn’t pain, fear, or doubt my spirit possessed,

It was the cry of a spirit that wanted peace and rest.

As my spirit continued crying-suddenly

Another spirit stepped in.

My spirit listened, and the tears came to an end.

 

This spirit’s voice was recognizable

I heard this voice before,

The calmness in her voice lasts forever more.

 

She said “keep living, it gets better.”

My spirit in me smiled and started to settle.

So I wiped my last tear that started to flow,

I said “God is working”, this I know.

life gets as good as you let it get...you can be a decent person...do for others.. treat people with kindness ad respect...and enjoy what you're doing either at work or raising a family. Nothing is easy nor did anybody promise it would be...but if we can see our way through and make a difference then our lives have purpose and meaning. I think this is what your great grandmother was telling you.
Technically, your write lacked a bit of rhythm or flow for me. Perhaps due to your erratic rhyme scheme or meter. I'm not sure. That is not to say I didn't like it...I did. Your rhyming, especially near or slant rhyming was rather impressive and I think I was trying to read to my beat instead of yours.
Anyway, terrific write Lee. Your great grandmother would be proud.
Hope your hardships are over and far and few between

"Keep living, it gets better." That's very close to what my Guardian told me so many years ago. And, she's right. Even after the most violent rainstorms you are granted a wonderful rainbow. Hold out, be patient, sit tight, and hang on. The best is yet to come ... :)

I more then LOVEEE this. It's truly beautiful and is so positive. I love how you feel the sad but it is quickly replaced with faith :) “keep living, it gets better.” "The cry was silent, enough for me to hear-
But strong enough for God to feel." So amazing

I can totally relate to this! Sometimes you really need something more than stress balls and good food to make you calm. Something only the Holy Spirit can give!

It's cool that you can talk about God so easily and without fear. "Keep living, it gets better" is a pg-rated version of one of my favorite sayings, which is "Keep f*cking going." I love it.
