Maranatha

Come quickly Lord, come quickly now! I want to be with you sooner, but how? My heart is homesick to its very depth. To the point of breathing my very last breath! My mind is depleted of any other things. Only the desire to be with you, that solely remains. My being drifts on passing this safe harbor of life. Deciding rather to give up or continue with this "strife." Drowning in the sea of sarrow.. Scared and unsure of what will be of tomorrow. Day to day struggles are weighing me down. Lord, throw me a life raft before I drown.

I love this poem so easily read with so much meaning. Thank you for expressing what I feel and could not do. They say the poem finds the right person to write it, it has found the right person in you. Thankyou Erin.
