Peacespeaker

Pent up emotions like storm clouds roll
Entering my mind, all calm it stole
Anger and pain like crimson flowers bloom
Cajoling me to hit out and wound
Each person who hurt me,I didn't suspect
Supposed to love me, to protect
People are surprising, they don't do what I expect
Everytime I trusted, each time I loved
Another crack in my fragile heart would show up
Keep trying... keep trusting... results so bleak
Eventually, in Jesus, I came to find peace
Rising from forgiveness, God's love spoke to me
