"Oh LORD, When will this be done?"

"Oh Lord, When Will This Be Done?" by Dorothy Ann Wiggins

Oh, LORD… When is this going to be done!


The days have trampled along and I feel every minute.
The steps to nowhere have been the hardest to take.
As much as was against standing and walking the way I felt you lead, I did.
I work and pray and pray to work,
I try to stay positive in a sea of despair.
I can’t help myself, and although I don’t understand why..
I keep caring for and helping others, trying to be fruitful.
But, I still wonder… WHY!! And for so long…

When will the sunshine, on ME again.
It shining but me being stuck inside, in pain seems more cruel that a gift.
Yay , for them who can enjoy its warmth,
but even the heating pad is not helping me not be miffed.
Oh, I confess my jealous rages, and my doubting and arguing heart
but, every other minute is too much for me to cope with.

When does this end, when will I get on with it, up and out, or online
I don’t care, just want progress
I hear you loud and clear; I obey as much as I can and confess the rest but to be honest; no more rest.
Please hear my wee little Faith and praise for who you are, and what you have done
But, really Lord when I can I have a break,
when can I see the good FOR ME! As is written.
When will I feel the strengthen within me,beside me,under me and above me.
When will I see what I have believed for so long…humbly I ask for a sign
And just to be clear not wanting a cast or bandage or further demise

I know you are LORD, I have faith that you will provide
The spirit is sweetened, the mind is clear, the heart is palpable
The work is stacking high, the dreams are fading,and hope is being drained.

Every morning is the same, I begin thinking this is the day! I will feel stronger..
But by noon, it is clear that although I have come so far,
it’s just not going any farther today.

I accept your Will and Sovernity but wonder when things will change?
Thankful you are here and hear me, but the Mary in me wants to DO more than just sit and wonder.

I am Published!!! Thank you for your support :)

My poem that many of you voted on, "Love Made Me Do It" has been included in an Anthology of Poetry, titled "Collected Whispers" published by International Library of Poetry.

It came in the mail today and it was kind of neat to see it "published". This poem says alot of how I was feeling and thinking and is deep down from the heart.

Thank you for those that encouraged me to write and submit it just to see it, even if nothing ever came from it. And, for going on and voting for it in the "Rate this Poem Contest". This has been fun and lead to the blog and I really have enjoyed your feed back.

You can read the poem on the website at http://www.poetry.com/dotnet/P8778475/999/1/display.aspx

This is a "poem" (my own style, not really obeying any of the "rules" of poetry) that I wrote, most of them will be files uploaded to the Dot's Literary and Creative Expressions link over to the right of the page -----> But, I just finished this one and it goes along with the last few postings and I "decided" to just post it here. The greatest thing about writing on the computer is the ability to enhance with color. I love a rainbow and I think color gets our attention and makes the meaning really soak in to our brains and heart.
Red- is of course the color of his blood,
Green is "nature or organic (not man made, not artifical, simply Divine) and
Purple, is royalty, regal, very special, extraordinary.

The time lived from birth to death,
efforts, choices, mistakes made
It all started with one breathe
He breathed in and you were created
decisions to advace self separated us from Him
He was not offended, He understood
He loved us enough to cover us
He gave His Son's life for us
We were saved, understood and loved
He requires nothing for it, that is Grace
but, shouldn't we love each other?
we weren't good but He loved us still
Isn't that enough to want to do His will
Some say NO!, we don't need to bother
we can live without one thing to have to consider
But, He is in us, so we should want to
Since He is in them too, and others will see Him
If we love like He loved us we are doing his will to them
our love, is His love, if received, they believe and Live
Living in Him, is acknowledging the Breath within
