disquiet overcomes
and irritation prevails
the pangs of pride
control me
taking over my peace
and He calls to me
bids me to come to Him
and I am drawn
to Eucharistic Adoration
falling on my knees before Him
praying for the peace
that comes from humility
I empty my soul
of all that torments
and release it to His love
arriving home
I see a rainbow in the clouds
His colorful covenant
of love for this unworthy
prideful creature
He called to me
He emptied me
He loves me
In the midst of my ugly pride
He gives me a rainbow of love
and I have peace
I have peace
Anne, this is truly beautiful. Thank you. Humility truly does bring peace. Love that you saw a rainbow! God is so gracious.

I can certainly see why Colleen @ Inadequate Disciple highlighted your wonderful poem on "Pay It Forward". It's absolutely beautiful!
