If darkness surrounds your everywhere
and you feel no love and you have no care,
maybe inside you are crying for help,
through eyes of a stranger you see yourself.
Where did you go, who are you now,
can you come back, do you know how?
Are you hiding, or are you lost,
is your life passing by with enormous cost?
Can you still see with those stranger's eyes,
through your hate and all your lies?
Can you find the love that you once had,
or will you just continue on feeling bad?
The Maker will fill your every need,
by having faith the size of a mustard seed.
One day you will see His eyes above,
and the eyes of a stranger will be eyes of love.

I really like this.. It speaks to me on many levels as at times it is me who is peering at myself not reconising who is in the reflection.. Awsome work here.. And that goes for

God likes it / I like it
I really love your spiritual writes and this was one of the best. I could rave on and on about it but suffice it to be known; you believe in my Savior, "thats what I like about you". In quotes, line from a Jack Teagarden song. Hey Sam, where ya been, I done missed you, was getting lonesome here all by myself. LOL. Thanks darlin for comment on In The Army Now. Loveya, jean -
Great, great rhythm and rhyme here. I really liked how it was all about faith. I have extreme faith as well, so it meant a lot to me. Thank you for your comments on 'Schoolyard's Untitled Wars' - the child in the poem was me, based on one of my true experiences, unfortunately. It can be awful, but hopefully with correct teaching, we'll all learn to love one another, or at least respect.
