Darren White Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

---

Voice: Sara Ella

Listen to poem:

I Sit With You

I sit with you,
My hand rests on your shoulder.
I read my book
While you sleep restlessly,
You have no clue.

The night is getting colder,
You have that look
of age-old tiredness sleeping,
of pain and hurt,
of hours of fruitless weeping.

I sit with you,
My voice a soothing rhythm.
I recitate
My poems, my lines for you
It's seeping through

Your troublesome subconscious,
inner debate...
Your eyes open so slightly.
I will be here,
I'll sit here in this chair,

And create words
To paint your world lightly
And colourful,
With butterflying flutter
Pulling you through.

I sit with you,
Because I care, I get you.
I know the pain,
I know this too will pass.
And you know too.

Anil Deo April 18, 2017 at 3:52 AM Brother White, we are praying with you & for you. Jesus never cursed & lectured the sick, lepers, poor ... he called the religious leaders and lawyers (Pharisees, scribes, religious judges) "white-washed tombs ... hypocrites ..." and John said they were a "brood of vipers." With the blind, the lame ... he asked if they wanted to be healed When they said YES, they received it. Receive your healing because you love Jesus. (He died for me - a sinner - and for you out of real LOVE, agape &shalom.AD

Anil Deo April 18, 2017 at 3:52 AM thanks and shalom. you are being healed in agape & shalom Darren White April 18, 2017 at 5:59 AM Thank you so much for all your nice words, and your encouragement.
