G-D's Radiant Mercy by Eva Streams of light broke through my window After a night of torrential rain, Where lightning flashed and the voice of thunder Add to my dismal pain. The grief and anguish that I'd carried Was much too hard for me to bear. I'd felt abandoned and all alone, Believing no one truly cared. I'd wished my life would be released To that longed for heavenly shore, Where peace at last would comfort me And life's struggles would be no more. Tired and weary, I'd fallen asleep, Leaving all cares and burdens behind. I'd dreamt that I was lifted up To joys unspeakable pure and divine. Soaring high on eagles wings, Far above the mountain heights, The "child" in me reached out and touched The beautiful stars that lit up the night. Forgotten was my pain-filled heart, Which cried out from a wounded soul. All hurt had vanished, as did my fears, Leaving me healed and ever wit whole. Refreshed, renewed, I soon awakened To blessed hope and peace sublime. G-D's radiant mercy had greeted me As it had greeted me time after time. |
