Here In God's Arms Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

©- HERE IN GOD'S ARMS-

As I slowly strolled down the country lane,
the rocks pushed up against the soles of
my thin sandles.
The dust rose in tiny swirls as the wind
danced in the mighty trees that lined
the roadway.

As I walked along, the sun played children's
games with me, peaking from behind the leaves
momentarily and was gone again just as quickly;
It's flashes of light warming me to the
very soul.

In the distance, the cows and horses grazed silently
in the bright green meadow;
their tails swishing in the air like flags in the wind.

At the end of the lane, I came to a serenely
hidden lake, with dark trees dipping their branches
down to sip the cool sparkling water.

No noise-No strife-No bickering abound
in this hidden place.
Only peace and serenity abide here in God's
arms.
This beauty-this peace is what God intends
for us to hold within our hearts each day.

I pray that my life will always be as God intended it-
that His peace will abide within my heart forever..........
