Why Or Why Not

dealing with grief

As gold streaked across the western horizon
Weighted down by red smeared just above
God sharing His beautiful sunset with all who look
A thought of you arranging it my love

When I woke up with, " Have I told you lately I love you"
Running through my head, I wondered again
Then before that the Holy Spirit whispered
____, I love you, a message from you I did attain?

Why would I share this in poem for all to see
Why not, maybe it will encourage one grieved
Will it place in a contest, who knows
Maybe a message from beyond, I perceived

It doesn't matter if it places in the contest
All I know I felt your presence each time
God I needed the feelings of your presence
To help me make it since I'm past my prime

Help me oh Holy Spirit to make it through each day
I am weak in this period of grieving
Steady me, give me visions of your love
In ways to make it very believing.
