The Agony

Why do we have such trouble trying to explain the height of ecstasy and the depth of pain when to you I am connected the blossoming of joy where upon it being severed hollow emptiness deploy I hear your cries in the vagaries of night but your distance prevents the healing of your plight your pain has saturated every cell in my soul but only can the embrace of Love make you whole My heart aches to hold you to my breast to see you lifted like a kings treasure chest wish you could see in mine eyes your own reflection and take away that you aren't precious misconception I have never spent my time tearing you apart but sought those qualities shining in your heart who keeps telling you with a derogatory voice that you're valued less than any other choice I have loved you from the day we first met my promise until the end I'll you not forget I exerted to support you every drop of energy though would have rather had you very close to me There is no treasure over you I cherish count them as nothing that my Love should perish an espoused sentiment will not a tummy feed I had to work to roof and clothe your need The only family at the time that cared for you two grandparents who tried to help me through they saw to it every school year you had clothes and when I lost them how my sanity then froze I'm required to forgive those who threw us away and the father who never supported you in anyway also the men who hide those who violate until our God by Christ does away with hate Sometimes in Life there is no indication the path required will receive its vindication I already know every place that I have failed and my own inadequacy which upon I've railed Someday perhaps You will understand Gods requirement to care your needs demand if I hadn't been alone might've been easier to stand and in myself what I've lacked not to reprimand 1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel COPYRIGHT © 2011 C Michael Miller
