Sometimes it’s hard to see
the forest because of the trees.
Sometimes it’s hard to see
the ocean because of the waves.
Sometimes it’s hard to see
our families because of its members.
Sometimes it’s hard to see
our neighbors because of the fences.
Sometimes it’s hard to see
our friends because of the personalities.
There is Someone, though,
who always sees it all.
He calls upon us to love one another
as He loves us.
Sometimes, even though sisters,
we may struggle to be friends.
Sometimes, even though believers,
we may struggle to truly love
Sometimes, even while truly loving,
we may struggle to understand.
There is coming a time when
there will be no mistakes.
There is coming a time when
there will be no miscommunications.
There is coming a time when
there will be no misunderstandings.
There is coming a time when
there will be no more sin
or anger
or hurt
or disagreements
or separation of body or soul.
I look forward to that time
when all will be made right.
When we will come together
in His harmony and light.
Until that time I will
hold you in my heart
And pray that you are well
while we are apart.
Author notes
I have been thinking about some women with whom I used to be close. There can be many reasons for distance. This poem takes a look at some of them.

A beautiful reflection, with a lovely prayer at the ending. I'm glad you have your hope and faith to sustain you. I like the way you composed the stanzas, incorporating repetition and variations on a theme.

This is absolutely stunning. I love the poetic structure of it also. The poem itself gives such a sense of hope and something wonderful to look forward to. I am very uplifted from reading it. Yes, one day everything will be made right; healed and whole again. I hope you are well and that life is being kind to you. God is with you!

Awwww...thanks, hon. I have been swamped and not feeling all that well, but I hope to get back to writing and reading more. Some day. Sometimes...we just can't do all we would really like to do.

I have learned in my life that many people have come and gone for many different reasons and for some reasons I don't even know. But what I do know is that each one has touched my life and I will never forget each of them. Yes there will come a time when there will be no more pain. Thanks for sharing your amazing piece, hugs Theresa
