it is well with my soul... isn't it?

it is well with my soul
when thoughts swirls
somewhat like the winds around a hurricane
or the whirlwinds that whirl across the dusty fields
it
is
well
with
my
soul.


it is well with my soul
when tears fill up my eyes to the brim
and slowly make their way down my cheeks
falling silently onto the table below
it
is
well
with
my
soul.

it is well with my soul
when the elevator stops at the 7th floor
and the long walk down the hall to mom's condo
culminates with me opening the door
to silence
to emptiness
it
is
well
with
my
soul.

it is well with my soul
even though parents are all gone home now
two Moms
two Dads
present with the Lord
and I...
I am missing them so much.
it
is
well
with
my
soul.

it IS well
isn't it?

though the sky turns dark
and the wind comes.

though the cold winds blow
and the cold rain will turn to ice pellets.

thought the nights get longer
and the days shorter

it
is
well
with
my soul.

IT IS...
IT IS WELL.
with MY soul.


 
O God...
Father to the fatherless (which includes ME)
thank you

It is well with my soul
amen
