Debi,
I hope that whatever it was that got you down and blue has passed or from your own inner strength you are combating it away.

Your prayer and faith is the mightiest sword in these circumstances.

These are words on a screen but know in my heart of hearts I pray you are in a better place.

Luv ya sis!
John

    Hey John, I thank you so much for your kind review and comments. I appreciate it for this one so much, because it is amazing how a few minutes in prayer can snap you out of it and help you count your blessings again.

    Thanks for the shiny six stars that went with this wonderful review.

    Thanks again for your awesome words for my poem, my dear friend and bro. You are the best. Love, Debi
    Love, Debi

We all have bouts with depression; my mother used to say we had to have our share of cloudy days to appreciate the sunny ones. Prayer helps - for me, I will look around at others' circumstances; I am in a better place even on my worst day than most people on the planet.

I know this is a poem about how you go to God when you're down; I'm hoping you're currently in a good place. I appreciate your words here, and that image alone should put all of us in a brighter place. You find the best pictures to go with your work!

Wishing you a sunny day, sis:-)

xoxo

    Hey Sis, I am still in amazement that my two sisters here were in first and second place and I got to be in the winners circle with them. So I am so proud to be there with two of my fav girls.

    Anyway, I thank you so much for your always lovely review and comments. I appreciate it for this one so much, because it is amazing how a few minutes in prayer can snap you out of it and help you count your blessings.
    I am glad that's how you take care of those gloomy days too. If you ever want some really cool pictures and I will get you several to pick from. You know how I love to help you. 🤗

    Thanks again for your sweet words for my poem and me, my very dear friend. Love, Debi

I love the scripture that says, 'Come to me Ye heavy laden and I will give you rest' that's the way to recognise that things aren't going as well as they should be and sort them out. This is a beautifully written rhyming poem dear Debi, a superb post, well done, blessings Roy

We all see the dark side sometimes. It is only natural to sometimes see clouds and rainfall when we wish there were sunny days.
It's best to turn to whoever helps us to achieve our most important selves. I hope you feel more positive soon. That way, you will spread positivity throughout the site.
Jesse

    Hi Jesse, I thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review and comments about this poem. I know what your views are about religion, so I appreciate you always being so respectful too when you review one of mine like this.
    You can't know what they means to me.

    Thanks again, my dear friend. Love, Debi

A positive look at challenge. I think sometimes we can all feel down and it takes strength to admit that and ask for help. When the bright side comes back it is all the brighter.

Great poem, Debi! I especially liked the theme of prayer and "That's when I will dust off my heart." Jesus if our Lamp Who guides our steps and He is our Light of Truth and He will never leave us or forsake us, always hearing our prayers. The world is a dark place but we have His Light!

I'm sorry you are feeling rather sad and blue Debi, but I am glad you are seeing the bright side of life. We are sometimes jaded with life at times especially when we have ill health. I enjoyed your rhymes and your positive attitude at the end of your poem Debi, our faith sees us through, chin up gal. Love Dolly x x x

    I love that right off the bat, God sent me a couple Angels, you and Helen.
    Dolly, your lovely words truly brightened my spirits and gave me a big smile.
    Thank you for them, and your gracious six stars, that seems brighter than normal.

    God bless you, my sweet friend. And a great big hug for you too!
