I Will Hope In Him

What do you say when your heart’s beyond broken When a volley of dark emotions overrun your spirit Your soul pierced deep; heart lies shattered When a child is taken away in a blink Words lay dormant; unspeakable; lost Held captive by a horror’s arrest Lost in the wilderness of regret; time stands still Body and soul tormented, languish on the edge of dispair You shut yourself off; away from the world Solitude calls to you in the silence And begs your recall of the words of Job “Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him;…” Job 13:15 ~*~ For the families in Connecticut 12/17/12
