Alone in Troubling Waters

Oversoul on May 11, 2011

A very sad poem.

Sometimes I feel like I’m in the ocean,

struggling to stay afloat,

Trying to stay optimistic,

patiently waiting for a boat.

There are times when the water is calm,

and I think everything will be okay,

Then a wave crashes down upon me,

and my optimism is washed away.

I feel so tired and weak,

treading these waters for so long,

It’s hard to keep on going,

hard to be brave and strong.

The waves come one after another,

it’s so hard to hide my fears,

All I can do is keep on swimming,

and try to hold back my tears.

For out here in the ocean,

YOU REALLY ARE ALL ALONE,

Everyone is busy rowing in their boats,

they don’t want to hear you moan and groan.

So true. We often feel like we’re out here all alone. People have grown so cold and unsympathetic. But know that you’re never really alone…..

We are never alone – if we want someone to care – Jesus does. That’s why you’re in a boat – he rescued you..

When I am down and want to cry,
I look up to the Creation in Sky.
Watching the sunshine smiling back at me,
Twinkling Stars adorning life’s history.

I am like a dolphin swimming in the sea,
Spreading the love and smiling happily.
With nature’s creation I am never alone,
But know my deeds and actions I atone.

For everytime I cry I look up,
Creation fills my hopeful cup.
It soothes my heart, it calms my soul,
Giving me peace, it makes me whole.

For we are all part part of life’s mystery,
Creating actions, making history.
Getting up each time you lose a fight,
Asking the Creator to hold you tight.

Trust in Creation, it tells no lie,
It soothes your tears when you cry.
The anthem of abundance to each wish,
With avid possibilites in life to unleash.

Like a dolphin playing with Creation,
I lend my voice to every nation.
So I now hold you my dear friend,
To be your comrade to the end.

Swim with me through life’s sea,
We can tackle life with glee.
For with love and compassion to life prayer,
We can achieve anything that we could dare.

Hi there!
