Notes About The Poem

Heavens Daughter

Heavens Daughter

Doris

With cancer in your body
as fear runs through your mind.
Struggling for some peace on earth
you think you cannot find.

Heart weary from the battle
soul weighed down with sorrow.
You wonder what there next might be
that you must face tomorrow.

Angels gather all around you
sent to you from above.
Wrapped up in their angels wings
bearing gifts of strength and love.

For times like these so few will know
when life is too demanding.
God's imparting feel it starting
to you some understanding.

I know it's been a long hard road
you did not seek to travel.
I see the heartbreak in your eyes
from dreams you watched unravel.

But know this on the darkest days
from your eyes fall drops of water.
In everything that you must face
you're still heavens daughter.

No shame in the things you feel
or in the tears you cry.
Just know what you face on earth
your help comes from on high.

With each hair numbered on your head
as tears roll down your face.
I pray you find some comfort
in the gift God sends of grace.

Doris. Having never met in person you might think it a stretch for me to say I've seen the heartbreak in your eyes. Still when it comes to matters of the heart. I've learned that see clearly you must look through the eyes of the heart. And that is how I see the things that are at constant warfare with your faith in God. Constantly trying to bring you down.

I'm writing this to simply say you're not wrong about his power and might. You're not wrong about His glory and His greatness. And you are not wrong about Him seeing you through all that you are facing.

I'm sending you my hope and prayers and love in His name. Praying that your spirit be lifted up. That your smile finds you in a new and deeper way. And for healing in your body. God Bless you Doris.
