A Painful Gift To Treasure

A PAINFUL GIFT TO TREASURE Her Heart was filled with grief and sorrow For her there seemed to be no happy tomorrow Yet there wasn’t a drop in her eye Because the pain in her heart was too much to cry! She hoped that a sense of joy would wrap her around Longing for peace to completely her surround So that she could forever sleep And her heart would no more weep! She did not want her life any more For there was nothing to live for She knew she could end her pain With a simple cut in her vein! Although She was tormented in every way She still struggled to live life every single day FOR SHE KNEW LIFE WAS A TREASURE A GIFT, THAT ONLY GOD COULD END, WHENEVER!

So very touching and the last lines end on a different note ... Ending life is a matter of seconds. But living life is a matter of courage. Perfect !

Very sad and very powerful. I hope you have escaped the the Valley of the shadow of death and are walking in the sunshine. If not God will surely deliver you from your sadness. Hugs Rick
