UP
He
is
the
one
He is the one,
the only one is He
who lifts me up,
my spirits He lifts
in peaceful harmony;
harmony, harmony.
I ask and
He is here,
right here beside me,
beside me, within me
everywhere around me
for all eternity.
I ask and
He loves,
loves me
unconditionally
at all times,
good times
and bad,
bad or worse;
my God
God
will
never
let
me
down

The prompt over at Big Tent Poetry this week was to write a happy poem, since the gloomy weather has so many of us down (me, too). This is what works for me. Sometimes I put too much negative energy into worrying about wordly things- people, situations, stuff. Therefore, I get let down. But when I trust in God, I always find peace and love.

Truly a happy poem. The form is interesting - I do like centred poems, they make such good shapes.
Laurie, it is good to have faith
like yours. I love the flow of this.

Your poem reminds me of two things:
"The Joy of the Lord is my strength,"
and
"Raise a joyful noise unto the Lord."
Your piece goes beyond happy to a wider place,

That was very relaxing. Bravo. I think I'll go pour myself a glass of red and forget the worries a bit.
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you found them UPlifting!

Laurie, I know I swear a lot and sometimes write ugly things, but truth is, without my faith in the Savior, I would be nothing.
I truly love how you captured that here and the form/layout is another manifestation of the Savior being the Center...
Well done.
I like how the shape of the poem moves UP, too.
Laurie, such beautiful words expressing your strong faith!
I like the experential quality of your writing Laurie.
I like the shape of things. ☼
Looks like you found your center, your happy place. Your poem was so well-stated!
A visual pleasure!

Very uplifting. I like the reminder of how accessible harmony actually is:
harmony, harmony.
I ask and
He is here,
right here beside me,
beside me, within me
everywhere around me
Belief is a great pleasure. ;)
I enjoyed your verse, even though I'm an agnostic. :)
Laurie I love this!
Thanks to all of you = )
I love this poem...a beautiful prayer of thanks to our God!
This is an uplifting poem, Laurie! I like the form, too, which leads one up even if they are reading down. :)
Ah-what an uplifting poem. I love the litany inherent in the poem. All I can say is amen. Amen.
