Gods Will

                                  While Heaven is the lighthouse
                                        and gods will your way,
                                with each lifebreath that is given,
                                   one should take time to pray.

                                      Mortal souls,they will toil
                                       pleading others to stay.
                                       but the Angels,they visit
                                     rushing loved souls away.

                                    As their wings swiftly hunt
                                   They find hearts set in tune.
                                  But not all souls are salvaged.
                                    faith has left some too soon.

                                And some souls will go question
                                  while they cannot understand,
                                   being greater than the stars.....
                                     and being part of His plan.

                                    So, to souls still in seeking
                                     let not strength go astray,
                               so that Heaven is your lighthouse
                                     ....and Gods will your way.

Thank you Mark.....

I appreciate your approval of this poem.I think it is truly important for people to look for the spiritual side of themselves,but i respect greatly that many people have different vantage points when it comes to how they view God,and the different religions they associate themselves with.But no matter what way is used to find spiritual truth,i hope that the person looking for it loves the world more than himself.A pastor once told me a bible scripture that can get you thinking.It reads"Those of you who lifts up the least of your breathren,lifts me up as well".I dont think i quoted it exactly,but it is within the pages somewhere,as Christ was the one who spoke it.He was trying to say that when you help someone near you,it is like you are helping Him.Makes sense,doesnt it?Thank you for reading.I hope that you continue to view my future work,as i will be glad to hear your insights.
