There are Times original version

poem by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Jun 21, 2026

There are times when I look to the
sky and begin to wonder why--
why anything so beautiful 
was created for man's eyes.

And there are times when i look to
the sun and wonder how everything
was begun--when Adam first look 
his  master in the eye and
the very first song was sung.

There are times when I look to the
sea and then I do believe how
everything looked so peaceful
once when all mankind was at
ease.

And there are time when I looked to the
earth and lie down upon
Mother Earth's green meadows of ***
grass and her good solid earth.

There are times when I take a look
around then I marvel at what I've
found. I felt peace on earth good
will towards men and happiness all
around.

And there are times when I look
to the East to search for peace. But
peace was nowhere to be found
because of war raging all around.

There are times when I look to the
West and only to find people put to
the test. For I know the people 
are tired of war and they want
to do is rest.

And there are times when everyone
should take a look around to see
what I've found. Then everyone
should look first to God and then
the rest will follow.  And then the
rest will follow.

***I no longer refer to Mother
Earth but only to Father God.

Jesus Christ is my major source of inspiration, it is quite obvious to me. Without his help, I would possess no talent for composing any of my inspirational Christian poetry. He provides the words to say. He lightens my heavy ... Read more
