The Dark

Our guest poet today is my long-time friend Brenda Williams.  We have a rich history of a friendship and sharing for nearly 40 years.  Welcome Brenda.

The dark sky helps the stars to burn bright
and offers a backdrop for their brilliant light.
So, in this life, when troubles appear
we can know God’s hand is hovering near.

The misery we face serves to impart
growth and abundance in our restless heart.
Blessing the battle, praising the pain
brings hidden life treasure to be gained.

Pausing to lift our darkness in praise
adds depth to our lives, and light to our days.
In my pain and struggle, God, help me to see
that You’re building a pathway to heaven for me.
