Masterpiece

MASTERPIECE A cordial wish A thoughtful gift A sincere gesture to show that he cares Disheartened reaction The response spits rejection Times like these, life can seem so unfair Bewilderment stuns Deep hurt succumbs Space between the two, grows a bit more Heart's sting is repeated His spirits, defeated Sad thoughts surface, seep in like before Uncertainties meddle Doubt and anxiety settle Worrisome thoughts about what's left behind Hard questions remain Unknown answers, the same Struggles constant, occupying his mind This loss, has been so much more More than he bargained for Moving forward, a tough endurance test Each decision made, has a cost Will the next be a win, or another loss? Sleep evades him, his body demands rest Oh, how you feel, I can't imagine Your shoes, I have not been in How I wish I could lift your heavy heart The relentless pain, I can't take away But, beside you, there I will stay And keep the promise, I made from the start This upheaval, distressing In disguise, may be a blessing The journey forward, will truly be your own I pray you'll find faith Courage, hope, and grace Empowerment lies in these stepping stones Though we don't know the reason For your struggle, in this season God has a much greater plan for you, I believe So carry on and persevere In all times, He is near A work in progress is still a masterpiece April 24, 2020
