Strong Tower

Shelter here sweet child of fragile soul.

Take refuge from those raging

Rapids of life, threatening to

Overpower and drown you in misery.

Navigate your way past the taunting

Ghosts of past regrets and

 

Turn to Me once more.

Open the swollen eyes of your sorrow

Weary one and come hither.

Embrace My forgiveness and fear not;

Run to Me and I will welcome you home.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
