Whatever life’s complications are, God’s plan will forever prevail; and as life goes on, so must love, forgiveness, healing and happiness. God knowing our frame, knows what we are able to bear, even for the sake of truth.

COMPLICATED SIMPLICITY Giving way to the tug of war, and the smiles that are given, along with a scar. To protect the innocent, caught in between, Eyes closed to the love refused to be seen. It's a complicated simplicity, A problematic irony, the choosing done, opinions won, by popular belief Battles long fought upon her knees, Only One to fear and that’s God to please, The things whispered are known, for God never sleeps, Are revealed in more ways, than secrets can keep Balances tipping the scale to the floor, Hating me more than I was once adored, How long to wear the blinders given of Satan to wear, Forgetting my love, distorting my care. For the ravaging fires of the gossiping tongue, All signs of life burned until there was none. Unfair sentencing, locked and thrown away the key, Leaving a desperate grasping of one’s sanity. It's a complicated simplicity, A problematic irony, the choosing done, opinions won, by popular belief.

Hello Lovie … nice set of lyrics. We hear so much about couples finding out that they really are distanced from each other, but they try to hang on - thanks Lovie - Lindsay

Thank you, for your comments Lindsay. We all have relationship hurts, and my poetry speaks of mine many times. ?So glad there’s God’s hands to leave things we can do absolutely nothing about.? Blessings.
