A Lament of Hope

In these shadows of life's calamities, The drying tears of my slilence Remain the reminder of the past and present; Memories and moments so painful and hurtful. The comforting smile on my face Hides deep and heart-piercing agonies No one will ever comprehend, As if they will ever care to listen. It is in this silence of my weeping, Where unfold the unseen afflictions and tragedies  That are unbearable to my young soul, I'm referring to the apocalyptic scenes of my horrifying existence... But as i mourn the losses and regrets Of my life's journey, The lingering faith in me Celebrates the wins and gains of hope. Oh God, my trust in you, remains. For your will, though it hurts sometimes,  It remains what is best for us And so, let it be done.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
