Refreshment for the War Weary
Penni Livingston
Oh that we might think to war
when shaken to our very core.
Adjusting justice near and far,
no dwelling on the battle’s scar.
Thoughts make up both heaven and hell;
tainted or blessed by the stories we tell.
Layers of complexity hinder sight;
raise your thought to see the light.
Focused on the sense of peace,
we see: Love for all is what frees.
Clouds and trees to give us shade,
appreciative as the errors fade.
The sun remains, gives life to earth;
the light within shows our worth.
No need to war; God in control!
Living waters refresh the weary Soul.
