I know you are hurting

I know you are hurting

I can see the tears

I feel your pain

But I value the final product

More than the process

Your destination will make you forget

The pains of the process

When you lift that trophy up high

You’ll forget the painful training process

Be very strong and courageous.

God

Beneath the dress

Do not be deceived by my look

Many issues are hidden beneath my dress

Do not be deceived by my laugh

So many tears are concealed therein

Do not judge me by my skin

I’m struggling to hide a myriad of scars.

What my mama told me the night I saw her tears…

Beware of those who profess love but shun commitment.

When darkness reaches out for my soul…

When darkness like an invisible hand

Reaches out for my soul

When I cry for help

But my agony seems to fall

Very so often on deaf ears

Or ears that know not how to handle

When I feel like giving up on life itself

Because the road seems too dark and lonesome

And none but me tread such slimy path,

Then I remember that my Lord knows it all

He wants me well and whole and happy

He sees each tear that wets my cheek

And treads that lonesome path with me

Though I may not see him with eyes wide open

I know He is there because He promised to be

And then I find the strength to get along

Because Daddy is right there with me and for me

I will break into a new song and praise

For though my cheeks are wet with tears

My heart is warm with love unchanging

Thank you Daddy for being there for me.

“Goodbye my beloved”

With eyes full of tears

I stare into the distance

Wondering how this could be,

I search in his eyes for a glimmer of hope.

But all I see is darkness and void

I look for a string onto which I can hold

There is none, ‘cause it was never meant to be.

Then I resign myself to the fate that is

And with a sign that spells my deepest anguish

I look into his eyes and dare say

“Goodbye my friend, my beloved,

You belong to the past I long to forget,

There is no place for you in my future”.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I see you in that dark little room
All alone and lonesome in your thoughts
Wondering what is driving everyone around
To that frenzy of excitement and craze.

I see you wiping a tear from your cheek
Asking yourself why you have to go on
When there is just so little to live for.

I see you, angry and bitter and broke
Because you can’t join in the celebration
Not because you don’t want to
But because you don’t fit in.

I see you draw the blinds in frustration
“Who cares if I don’t go out?
No one’s gonna miss me anyway.
They’re all having fun out there.”

I want to tell you dear friend
That someone misses you so bad
Though they may not have the courage to say so
They miss that smile though so rare.

Jesus came for you too my friend
Any little act of love, joy and peace
You pose this season
Honors and welcomes your Friend to the earth.

So go out there and join the celebration
Not because you feel like it
But because He feels for you, just you
And wants to hold you in His arms.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU. JESUS CARES, YES INDEED HE DOES. HE SEES YOUR PAIN, SHAME AND LONELINESS. HE COMMUNICATED IT TO MY HEART AND GAVE ME THESE WORDS JUST FOR YOU. I CAN FEEL YOUR YEARNINGS AND DESIRES. NOT BECAUSE I’M SUPER HUMAN, BUT BECAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE TOO. HE WIPED AWAY MY TEARS; HE WILL DO SAME FOR YOU.
AMEN.
