The strength I have is the strength I am.
My Faith is steadfast, yet it surrounds me in waves.
When it’s courage I need, it finds me and leaves me amazed.
There are days when I cry in despair.
Yet when those days arise, I say to myself…”push forward with care”.
The strength I have is the strength I am.
Imagine disasters unforeseen.
Imagine dreams crumbled and lean.
With God’s abiding love,
I withstand life’s whirls.
With God’s whisper’s of hope,
I endure nature’s hurls.
The strength I have is the strength I am.
When destruction is all that is visible…I use a spiritual lens and see possibility.
When hurt and pain are gnawing at body and soul…I leap into the arms of peace and seek liberty.
The strength I have is the strength I am.
God’s mercy shields and protects me. God’s love strengthens and uplifts me.
The grace God gives is the strength I have and within His love is the strength I am.
The strength I have is the strength I am.
This poem is dedicated with love to the survivors of Hurricane Dorian.
