A Painful Gift To Treasure

A PAINFUL GIFT TO TREASURE 

Her Heart was filled with grief and sorrow
For her there seemed to be no happy tomorrow
Yet there wasn’t a drop in her eye
Because the pain in her heart was too much to cry!

She hoped that a sense of joy would wrap her around
Longing for peace to completely her surround
So that she could forever sleep
And her heart would no more weep!

She did not want her life any more
For there was nothing to live for
She knew she could end her pain
With a simple cut in her vein!

Although She was tormented in every way
She still struggled to live life every single day
FOR SHE KNEW LIFE WAS A TREASURE
A GIFT, THAT ONLY GOD COULD END, WHENEVER!

So very touching and the last lines end on a different note ... Ending life is a matter of seconds. But living life is a matter of courage. Perfect !

Very sad and very powerful. I hope you have escaped the the Valley of the shadow of death and are walking in the sunshine. If not God will surely deliver you from your sadness. Hugs Rick
