For my God and my mom and dad

Today I was at last able to see
the broken children playing house
As I studied that little girl and boy
I found the same in me


Though trying so hard not to reinfect
I caused other wounds of my own
Caught up in the rip tide of cause and effect
She swam for the shore alone

I take that back but for Gods love
Our heroine would surely have sank
So praise I offer from my hearts very depth to HE
Who pulled me to the bank


 

And opened my eyes to the truth of all things
Unclutching my heart from this pain
Releasing my grip taking my hand in his
watching his  loyal merciful love rain

Tender, poignant poem, full of mercy... We never understand 'why' until later, I guess. Healing and Faith, Gershon
