I was at a funeral yesterday. Browsing as I wait for the service, a beautiful funeral poem caught my eye. It's simply titled, "I Am."
I remember lines such as "I am the soft touch of the breeze," and, "for I am with you, always."
Google has failed to give me that particular poem, but instead showed me this one.
A quiet moment with Him...….I hope this also serves as inspiration for those who are searching for God.
"Power Of Prayer Poem
I wrote this poem in a time of my life when I was feeling insecure. I needed confirmation that God was still in my life.
I was looking at my life in dismay, feeling lonely and worried. I felt inspired by prayer to talk to God and write down my thoughts while sitting on my porch.
Words came to mind as God spoke to me, and I put these words down on paper. I hope this poem inspires you as well."

As I sit here all alone admiring the view of an early sunrise,
I tilt my head back and close my eyes.
A soft gentle breeze crosses my face.
I look around and enjoy the quietness of God's peace and the soft gentle pace.
The trees are in full bloom, the leaves ready to fall.
God's beauty of earth, I admire it all.
As the sun comes up and begins a new day,
I sit here quietly and begin to pray.
Dear God, I begin to say, please watch over my life and keep me safe.
Give me hope and show me faith.
Guide my path and let me know you are near.
Allow me to be strong and filled with love, for love conquers all fear.
A gentle breeze crosses my path and gives me a slight chill.
God answers and says: I am with you still.
I've never left you alone or threw you aside, I am in your heart, I will be your guide.
I will show you the way to master life's difficulties and trust your heart,
For I am with you now and forever, I shall never part.
A gentle breeze I feel again, I know my prayers are answered, God has heard my plea.
He has pointed this out for me to see.
Life has many surprises each and every day. We cannot live on regrets and sorrow.
Once again I feel a gentle breeze, which means God is saying:
My child, there is a tomorrow:
The sun will shine once again, the birds will continue to sing.
Memories will last forever, and enjoy life anew today, and all that it may bring.

"At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored.
Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever."
A very moving message from Brett McBride.
