Running On Empty : An Original Poem
When I am weary
From all the chores that I have to do
When I feel tired
From all the running around
When I feel pressured
From all the deadlines that I have to meet
That’s when I realize
That I am running on empty

When my car breaks down
When my boss yells at me
When my maid runs away
When my roof leaks
When my automatic gate fails to function
And when my son really, really gets on my nerves
That’s when I realize 
That I am running on empty

That’s when I also realize
All that I need is
A time for God
For Him to fill me and refresh me
That’s when I also realize
That I need more and more of Him in my life
For my spirit will be lifted up
And joy will pour forth from my hearth

Oh yes
The irritations, problems and worries of the world would still be there
They would not automatically disappear
But with God at my side
I can face them with a smile
That’s when I realize
That I am no longer running on empty
But with love, grace and mercy provided by God

@bleujay · 
Thank you for posting @positivesteem.  If one may comment from one's frame of reference.  
Principle....Man's extremity is God's opportunity.
The human solution is no solution...the divine solution is the only solution.
All the best.

Psalm 34:8 tells us: Taste and see that God is good; Happy is the man who takes refuge in him.

@gangster.inc00 · 
Very good art and poem, keep writing and expressing yourself. Question if you get a minute: how do you credit the pictures with just the words Image source, i cant seem to find it anywhere and i can only credit with a long website link under it. Thanks for any info on the matter.
