Debi, excellent rhymed poem that doesn't sound forced. It flows so well and has a beautiful presentation. I agree with you, with God's help we can overcome anything.

Well done!

Thanks so very much, Marival. Obviously I was struggling with a little anger when I wrote my little rant, so IT was out for a while. Then I remembered to count my blessings. This poem was the fourth I have written when I have been down and having a bad day. I know they happen to everyone but they can only get better when you recognize that someone else always has it worse than you. My mom told me that on her death bed, and I had to scream, Who????

But she was happy to go home and be with her Lord, so I too try to honor her by being the best person I can be while I am here, no matter the situation, and try to keep looking for the bright side.

Thanks for being the kind of person who so many look up to. You are a bright shining star to so many.
Thanks again. Debi

Anger is a difficult emotion but sometimes it motivate us to go on, there's so much energy in it. I guess using it for a good outcome.

Anger does not work well w Christianity so I don't understand it but for now on avoid it. The kind you speak of is scary. I won't go there.

I enjoyed reading this one. It speaks of a trust in God to get you over the rough times in your life.The imagery from darkness to light throughout
works so well. God is the light that brings us our of the dark times.

Yes, Jesus is there to make sure we see the light. He is the light. We just need to allow Him to work within us and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. I enjoyed reading your beautiful poem.

We all need to be looking for the bright side. It's easy these days to find the dark side and feel blue. It's an effort to find the bright side but well worth it.
Blessings my friend

Such a hopeful poem with good advice. I know when something has got me worried or down and I feel helpless, praying and turning it over to God is such a relief. And prayers get answered. Your choice of artwork with this poem is beautiful and illustrates it perfectly. Nice rhythm and rhyme also. Great job, Debi!

Debi, This is a great poem you have penned about seeing the bright side. You are so right because Jesus is the One who shows us the light. He is our brought side. I love the artwork you chose to go with your words. And it is so right to keep rebuking the devil and ask God to hold on to our hand. love and blessings, Teri

This is a poem of hope, optimism and the escape from dark thoughts threatening to consume.

'That's when I will dust off my heart
And I'll go where I can confide
'Cause Jesus will help me to start
To once again see the bright side'

Beautifully written, Debbie.

Just like that rainbow, we see in the sky, our emotions are comprised of many colors...

Each has a place in our lives...

What you are feeling is real and universal to all of us.

Breathe it in...

Sit with it for a bit...

Exhale...

Jesus understands.

John 11:35: "Jesus wept."

Hey Sweet Pea, how are you doing? I love your few but powerful words for this one. Yes, it is and everyone can certainly relate so that is why I write a bright side poem every once in a while. Thanks for what you said.

I think if you read it again, it might read better as I always find changes the first day after I post. Thanks again, my awesome friend. Love, Debi

reply by karenina on 09-May-2024

I read it again...

A few changes, just as good!

Good advice in this poem. When you're feeling down try to find something good in your life to think about and hang on to. Also, turn to God to change your heart and take away the sadness. Very nice artwork for this piece as well. Thanks for sharing.
