I do not write poetry much. Only when thoughts come to me that I just have to write down. This happened to be one of those moments.

I was somehow having trouble just following wherever life takes me.
I want to know where I am, Where I was, Where I am going in life.
I want to be one of those people who just close their eyes and jump
without thinking twice and just enjoy the ride down.
I close my eyes and bend my knees, but something holds me back.
I wait, trying to build up the courage to make the leap of my destiny.
I can not.
I can not stop thinking about what the result of the jump will be.
Will I jump and soar? or will I fall to the ground and fail?
Today I have decided I will not worry anymore.
Because I have now found where I belong.
I belong with God.
I no longer need to know where I am going.
All I will ever need is faith in him.
I will float in the palm of God’s hand until he decides where he wants to set me down.
When I have finished my time here
He will pick me up once more and There I will stay forever
With the comfort and warmth of the Holy one to keep me safe.

    Thanks for sharing this. Like the picture of sitting in his hand. Often He encourages me to leap, never to fall, but always to be caught by him in mid air.

    Such an uplifting piece, the first thing that came to mind was “A leap of faith”. Nicely written. I keep a notebook with me most of the time to write down possible future poem topics.

    This is very well done. And, you’ve something that some haven’t found yet in 50+ years, and some never find at all. Good for you.
