(in celebration of Poetry Month)
Inside us all exists a place
unique in space and size.
Just one thing can fill this space;
it’s nothing money buys.
Some people try to fill the void
with work and busy-ness.
They think that to be well-employed
will bring true happiness.
Others try a different route—
they seek recognition.
But all too soon they learn about
the failings of ambition.
But inside me there is no void—
it’s a marvelous sensation!
Inside me grows peace and joy,
defying explanation.
The future holds no fear for me,
sleepless nights I don’t endure.
There’s no need to fret continually,
because my destiny is secure.
Even when problems come my way,
a sense of joy pervades.
From an inner strength, fears are allayed,
and anxiety begins to fade.
This peace and joy inside me
come from one amazing Source.
It’s Jesus Christ—he’s the key,
the almighty, empowering force!
The Lord alone can fit that space;
nothing else will ever do.
While following his excellent ways,
I experience his blessings too!
