Petals of Pain

Soft tears stream down her sorrowful face Petals of pain peeling away her peace Drops of desolation that delve into dejection Why, asks her depressed mind? Not another cycle, says her miserable soul Unhappy sobs steal her joy and upset her mood Precious prayers unanswered again How much more can she take? Petals of perplexity pervade her poignancy Hold on to hope, her heart says The flower of faith blooms fresh and fair Prayer's powerful potential is felt once again Sometimes waiting is the answer God can still work mysterious miracles Petals of patience blossom through the pain

What's not to love here? Great use of alliteration, despondency felt, then hope. I can't imagine this one not placing Jo
