Beneath the sky at night
I look into my soul
Where I’ve hid the secrets
From the ancient scrolls.
The old pain lingers
In the depth of my heart.
It is in the darkness of misery
Where I stored the old.
As I stand in the Present
My past so cold
The fears of eons ago
Ravished my soul.
I find the message
Of forgiveness
In a hidden place
Where life begins
For the human race.
My Life is a blessing
That took me so long to hold.
Now when I search my heart
I turn from the old.
I find the warmth
And light a blazing.
I find the love
Of God Amazing.
All the goodness
Of God within
Is bubbling over
My heart’s brim.
So it is time now
For me to find
My life is mine to define.
God Is I Am 
A great poem. The way you started it, with “Beneath the sky at night I look into my soul” seems to always be the best approach in understanding that “life is a blessing”. Thank you. James.
Thank you James, I agree, Life is a blessing and sometimes when we get caught up in the “stuff” of life we lose sight of the blessing. My journey has brought me to a greater understanding. And that understanding is the great blessing in my life. I appreicate your thoughts, mary
