GIVING THANKS

You want my presence The gifts I paid for with life You want to enjoy them...in silence Lest a WORD I speak bring you strife You want games and laughter The joy that comes with peace You want assurance of blessing But you want no reminder of me Do you feel that gall rising From somewhere deep in your pit Do you feel the bitter sorrow Of TRUTH being ripped Do you see the mirror shattered Yet again at the sight of black Do you grieve the loss of LOVE When all HE did was give...without lack Wail, pound your fists upon the ground While ZION soars away on your flight She is done with possibility As TIME is wrapped up in ETERNAL WHITE LIGHT Written by Trudy Schrader on 11-23-2023
