I woke this morning my world was gray.
Though my mood said back to bed I struggled to my feet.
I stumbled to the kitchen grumbling to myself.
I tried to smile but it would not stay.
I grabbed a cup of coffee, took a sip it did not help.
oh why do I feel so gray,
like all my color has gone away.
Out the door to my favorite spot I go.
There to meet my Lord,
Dear Lord, I cry please help me see.
Please wash the gray away,
help me to find peace in this time,
my heart hurts so since he went away.
I heard the Lord say,
Open your eyes child, I'm by your side.
See what I have for you today.
I opened my eyes and
I could see the Lord paint the world for me.
Skies of blue, several hues.
Filled with fluffy clouds of white.
the grass was green, a black dog and gray cat.
even a red bird or two.
a dark blue pond with yellow fish.
the trees were red, orange and yellow.
The sun was up and shining bright.
All of this for my hearts delight.
Once more I bowed my head,
Thank you Lord for the peace you give.
Thank you for loving me and all the colors I see.
Thank you for aways listening to me
I love you!
Author notes
This is how I feel some days, I struggle with depression sometimes, and just want to crawl back in bed, and stay there all day. But life goes on, but if I turn to God I can't stay down, He is too wonderful to me.
