The Great Beyond

I was looking out at the great beyond I saw you staring back at me you were amazing to look at with silvery hair and your piercing black eyes and somehow they shone piercingly and your aura, so mesmerizing a face, amazing to see. I remember when so many years ago a faith in you so strong it was so reassuring to know that you were always there. I hope and pray that one day… I feel your presence, as I did before if I forgot you or maybe I didn't look? I now do realize what I had missed… its crazy I know, it hurts I know but life drew me away.... my reflection, makes me look and ponder. As I looked unto the heavens I see mom, dad and my baby sister happy moments of joy and laughter blissfully unencumbered by guilt or tears, and I saw all your beautiful creations. Everyone I loved has gone now It's been soooo long for me. Forgive my follies, dear Lord I just want You to be my guide Feel your presence by my side when I turned my back on You I was scorched by searing pain floundered, which way to go ... I will be fine to go on with my life with You so dear always by my side, with a longing heart for YOU I pray, please don’t forsake me I know You are the one who loved first! Deliverance is what I seek of my present agony so of my agonizing past please do set me free… Brooke
