Every now and then,
when the world sits just right,
a gentle breath of heaven
fills my soul with delight,
and I sigh ~
as sun brings its morning,
its gift of warmth to chase the chill,
from the crook of night's arms
arising o'er that far hill,
and I know ~
heaven smiles,
and I smile, too,
though life can be hard
while dreams are few ~
yet, every now and then,
when this world sits just right,
a gentle breath of heaven
fills my soul with delight,
and I see ~
the turning of a leaf
dancing in an autumn sun,
and brilliant shades of crimson
glowing when a day is done,
and I sigh ~
when a rose stands alone,
thriving where no others thrive,
a rare bouquet of one
still strong, still alive,
and I know ~
even in shadows
heaven catches, unaware,
those blinded by visions
of hatred and despair,
and I see ~
a promise of tomorrow
in that wind around the bend,
as it carries a dream of hope
with no hate or pain to tend,
and I pray ~
when every now and then,
this world sits just right,
as a gentle breath of heaven
fills my soul with delight,
and I smile...

What a wonderful surprise to find this poem on your blog! My mother(Mattie)was very pleased that you enjoyed it enough to share it with others. Thank you!
My mother has been very ill these past few months. I've been lending her a hand with her blog. We sincerely appreciate your kindness, your generosity.(smile) It was nice meeting you...
Many blessings,
M.
Ah, thank you so much! My prayers are with your mom, and let her know that her poem was truly "captivating." I actually found the first stance of her poem on 'quotegarden.com' then googled her name and found it in it's entirety. Does your mother know she's famous? (smile) Nice meeting you too.
I found this poem today in the exact same way Renee found it....what a blessing. Now I have it bookmarked in its entirety thanks to this blog. What a blessing!
