Scarred Heart and Soul

Scarred heart and soul I remember when I was a little girl And bad things would come my way I would close my eyes and pretend If I couldn’t see, then neither could they Of course it wasn’t true And they always saw me as I grew up I had to face it So now I no longer flee I don’t close my eyes and pretend anymore But I close my heart and soul The pain comes in waves of misery It is too much, and this I know It has bent and almost broke me But there is a thread of glorious healing And I have no shame or care at all Should you see that I am kneeling I ask for help from up above For I know what faith can do And faith is all I’ll ever have To survive getting over you. It will take some time I know And the pain will surely subside But I will have learned once again my heart and soul is scarred inside. Connie Moore Oct. 28th 2013.
