here and there
You'll find
Countless words
that tell the story
of my dreams
Things I only imagine
because the space
seems so vast and
I don't know how to cross
the great divide
You'll find
Fears so real they
could swallow you whole
Fear of ridicule,
or failure,
Fear of the unknown
Like a river
That separate distant shores
Though I can swim
There's no way way to know
if I am strong enough
to make it across
Or if the undercurrent
will sweep me away
So close
Yet so far
...the space between
here and there
One thing is sure
I'll never
know my strength
or ability
...Until I dive in

Today I Pray...
...for your continued guidance as I move from here to there
...help me to stay focused
...help me to shake off the negativity
...and tune in to the encouraging voices
...help me to know when I've reached the best point to dive in
...and give me strength to swim
"A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me; you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name. Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side; your rod and staff give me courage." Psalm 23:1-4
A note to my readers: I just had to share this with you because it truly is amazing. Normally when I include a Bible verse, I take some time researching to find a verse that "fits" my theme or resonates with me on that day. Today though, after writing my poem and prayer, I literally opened the Bible at random. This was the very first passage I read. As you can imagine, I wept upon reading it.

I find my fears diminish whenever I focus on these verses from Psalms 23. Once again the blessing was mine as I read this heartfelt post. Thank you! I could relate to what you wrote.
