Poem


In my dream, I dived into the cauldron of magic potion and then... here was what I beheld:

There they huddle together seeking for peace
in their brainstorming session
as agonizing creatures of the night
tortured with self-inflicted guilt...

"I am a mother beseeching for counsel
for my daughter diagnosed with bi-polar mood disorder;
in good times, she declares that she’s the reigning Miss Universe
vibrantly, she talks to everyone… cheering them;
yet, during her down moments, she shuts herself in…
forgetting her hygiene routine, failing to eat
and worst of all... wanting to end her life
since she sees herself as a worthless worm."

"Please help us..." Sobbing midst angst
is another family member, recounting the misery-turmoil
they are going through in handling their brother’s denial
of his mental state … that when reality-check is done
they are the ones accused of not regarding the factual situation 
or not being “understandable.”

Awaking, here I am today, praying with them in reality
as we come to the Lord, entreating for His power
to strengthen the parents, blessing them with patience
while they show their love, care, and support to and for their child.
For those who are cared, we plead for soul-healing
with the Prince of peace prevailing in their hearts.
We claim with triumphant hope, anticipating for His answer of grace...
believing the Scripture’s truth of Isaiah 26:3,
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, 
whose mind is stayed on thee: 
because he trusteth in thee.”
