Everything Is Going to be Okay

Written for the Poem per Day challenge, Jan 30th, 2005

“Everything is going to be okay.”
Those were the words I heard that day
As I sat in the church, in the quiet nave,
And wondered how I would find my way.

At first there was just a shimmer in the air,
Then came the voice which only I could hear,
“Everything’s going to be okay, dear.”
I sat up suddenly and dried my tears.

It was so dramatic, and so real!
In that moment I felt my heart heal.
It's going to be okay, I feel,
God said, “On this you have my seal.”

The words came to comfort me at that time,
And I must continue to believe the sign,
“Everything is going to be just fine,”
In my heart I’ve made those words mine.
