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
