Bubbles.

Bubbles

by Alan

As one goes through life,

troubles, like bubbles,

arise and flow,

 

Turmoil and woe,

Friend and Foe

Alike flow like bubbles,

 

Bubbles, like troubles,

are the woe on man,

The curse of sin,

 

Bubbles, like time,

wax and wan,

rise and fall

 

Though big and complex,

like the throes of life,

meet man alike

 

Bubble like troubles,

are strong and weak

to all they meet

 

A wind shall carry,

all alike,

from start to finish.

 

Though alike in form,

the end is not norm,

for all bubbles.

 

To prove the fact,

the truth may be known

All bubbles are not the same.

 

Though flimsy and flighty,

the race is not in the bubble,

'tis the wind.

 

 

Though not swift,

nor strong in might,

'tis the wind.

 

'Tis wind my friend,

the determines the end,

of the bubble.

 

' that the race is not,

to the swift,'

'tis the wind.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

Brethren,

This is my only  poem that I have ever written. I wrote it to help and encourage all of you in your times of troubles. It is a blessing to my heart that it was a blessing to your life.

The book of Ecclesiastes was written for our benefit. In the book of Ecclesiastes we can understand a lot of spiritual things and understand that in this life, "under the sun," as Solomon aptly wrote,  troubles come to one and all alike. It is how one deals with the troubles that makes the character of the individual.

The spiritual side of the poem is that the Holy Spirit leads and guides along without an outward observation. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and wither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." John 3:8

God Bless you all.

Thank you for this fine poem Alan. I am always amazed at people that can write poems, I couldn't do it. The application of the words in your poem are a wonderful blessing pointing to,  and ending with the scripture in John 3:8
