A Crude Visit

A Crude Visit
(Rubiyat)

Standing out front with shopping cart
Disrespecting mother not smart
Telling her that she is now dead
Words piercing deep breaking her heart

To him I’m just a “seed donor”
Yet he’s acting like a stoner
Throwing out abuse from his mouth
I’m feeling now like a mourner

Oh my heart’s been broken in two
Now what am I supposed to do
It’s so hard to explain this pain
I know the Lord will pull me through

Tougher skin needed on this bone
Although at times I feel alone
Trick of the enemy I know
I do know all hope is not gone

 I pray for strength along the way
That He would guide me day by day
Trying so hard to understand
Right now all I can do is pray
