Worries and Peace

I spent the day in preparation

For the days ahead,

I scurried round like I was lost

And couldn’t find my head.

Then I came home to find my work

Still lay before me there.

I felt a tear start in my eye,

Then there were tears to spare.

I stepped away so none would see

The tears that touched my cheek

And there I saw, down on the beach,

The peace I went to seek.

He had no thought of why I wept,

Nor did he really care.

In fact, he never looked my way,

As if I wasn’t there.

He wasn’t really seeking food

As he strolled down the shore,

He just wanted to walk with you

In peace, and nothing more.

I left him shortly, as he strolled,

To turn back to my day,

But with me, when I went inside,

I took some peace away.

John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
