"Flowers in the Yard"
You may feel like a failure,
You may assume that all is lost.
It sometimes looks so bleak, by
Pains and doubts you are
Wracked and tossed.
The desert around you, may be all
Blackened sands, but as long as
You can see the mountains,
With hope to guide you, a
Rescue is surely at hand.
He said He will never give you
More than you can handle, without
Giving you a way out. Don’t
Miss the messenger, because you were
Looking in the sky for a shout.
So many things are simple, yet
We make them oh so hard;
We see pimples on our faces,
When there are flowers in our yard.

Writers note:
In our society, (unfortunately) we have been inundated with commercials and pressure
from corporations that have made us believe on the DEEPEST LEVELS,
that what we see on the outside is what is important,
when the exact opposite is true.
What is inside us;
the purity of spirit,
the honesty and integrity to see your self and others as VALUABLE,
has been all but lost in our world.
It has been replaced with shallow thinking,
cowardly acts,
running in fear rather than standing up to protect one another
This is the real disaster of our time.
