FJ Thomas Poet Rhyme

Plea of the 'Bruised Reed'

Plea of the 'Bruised Reed' 

 On my knees; my head low
What to say I don't know
Can not speak yet it seems
though no words my heart screams 

But that's the sound you hear
more than a word spoke clear 
Each tear rings as stirred chimes
Each one dear not bound by time

In you're heart they're held tight
Kept safe from the world's bite
To you my worth is high
A gem tween earth and sky

But this I do not feel
I try but my head reels
My heart just can not see
the art you see in me

I have not much to give
By your Word I will live
I'll not let my faith go
Please help your child so low


Matthew 12:20
