From the Heart
Louise Gibson
Somewhere there is a place for me.
A place I have a need to be.
A new plateau, a goal to meet-
Purpose, direction, without defeat.
Oh, God, give me strength to greet each day
With a cheerful countenance,
Don’t let me sway.
Please let me focus on the issues of life
That bring joy to others-
To relieve their strife.
To have victory over the enemy called fear
The energy and stamina to persevere.
I wrote this poem seven years ago after my husband died. I truly feel that God answered it in a remarkable way. I have written poems about every subject that my imagination has allowed, but, before I get too boring, I do believe it is time to take a break.
Sincerely, Louise Gibson
