My Tears

As softly as my tears were shed, 
You heard them and gently responded 
by giving me a friend.

So often we feel as if no one listens
 ... but my Lord does.  
My Heavenly Father wipes my tears.

Your angels surround me 
and You sends forth those 
to lift me up with prayer and strength.

You have placed around me 
those You have chosen to be in my life.  
With their prayers for me You continues to gives me strength.

The laughter they bring is refreshing to my spirit.  
Peace floods my soul, rest comes to me again.
I can once again stand and look forward to where God leads.
