Heavy burdens lay on her heart She was grief stricken, falling apart Hope had left her here in the silence Almost stronger than darkest violence Doubts beyond her faith, her believing Deafened her dreams, left her grieving Nothing seemed pure, worthy or pleasant The worst of her past creeped into the present Lost in the dread – in her worst fears There lived a sorrow full of misty tears Quieting her hopes with dusky shadows Her heart felt like worry always grows It would be beyond her understanding These feelings bleeding – demanding Her faith – her smile – her best insights Her soul felt like clinging to the last rites Prayers only seeped through those emotions Clinging to her spirit, trickling through devotions Intended to bring her close to the One who knows Her heart, though broken, believes He arose Grieving through the songs, hymns of hope Promising that, even in death, she can cope Because of One who is healing her, filling her Grace and hope beyond the grave He’ll stir Giving her a chance to reach for the hand Who made her and saved her… He planned To bring her the healing she would need On a cross He would hang so she’d be freed In the priceless moments at the cross, He bid her The grace, the faith, the forever – not an amateur He made a way for her to be freed, to finally pray For love that saved when He took her sins away

Your poems are filled with hope rooted in faith and in His boundless love. Even in the most dismal situations of life, there is a ray of light guiding us ! Very poignant, but ending in hope and cheer.
