Breathe

Frozen, anesthetized sedated and deadened
Cocoon of pain 
My energy drained

Whenever I see him I try to hide
That I know the pain he is feeling inside
I know what you did to him
I know what you said
The feelings in my heart have filled me with dread

I’m a woman of faith
How can I hate
A child of the light


     But 
      if
      I 
     saw 
     you 
   tonight
 

God heal my heart
Heal my child
Remove this torturous dart
And make his pain mild

I know that you will call me to forgive
I know that if I don’t this pain I’ll relive
But now Father just let me breathe

Robin L. Gass Date: 1/18/2009 2:04:00 PM Laurie, this is a really powerful write. It is hard to feel that way but you are a chlid of Christ and I know you hate the action of the of person (so different than truly hating) and God knows your loving heart and will let you breathe again. Awesome write, Laurie! Love and a BIG HUG to you, my friend, Robin Login to Reply

Sharon Winter Date: 1/15/2009 5:15:00 AM Must have been something extremely traumatic. Hope your prayers are answered. Glad you can write it out. Remember, for the most part children can be pretty resilient, while our suffering as adults seems to linger indefinitely. Hope this is the case for your child. Good luck. Love, Shar Login to Reply
