The Lack of Love and Affection

The lack of love and affection

Written By Dean Masciarelli

November 10, 2009 (10:34am)



The lack of love and affection 

Can truly bring you down

And it can cause you

To become emotionally 
unstable and withdrawn

And even irritable at times

And when this happens

You tend to lose your bearings 

And your sense of direction

And when it gets really bad

You quit doing the things
that you used to do all the time

And you eventually become

Isolated from everyone

Because you have reached 
a point

When you no longer feel 
like you belong


And you just quit caring

And this is when the good Lord
will intervene if you will let him

Because he can  help you 
turn your life around

So that your life 
has more meaning

So that you can have 
a true sense of belonging

Because the good Lord
is the only one who will 
listen to all of your problems

And he will help you find 
a solution to everything

So that you can begin to mend
and then feel brand new again

Because you can always 
rely on him
to lift you up from your burdens

When you can no longer 
carry them on your own

You've got that right that He is there. It is nice to have a mate or another human that you can have love and support from but God is the One who is always there and always understands. Keep writing. Sara

Hi, Dean...I am so happy for your comment on my poetry. I am glad that someone has taken his time to find it very inspiring, enough to brighten his day. I love your poem...it is sad as many of my poems, but in writing we find that solace that others can't give us.. In the mist of darkness, He is the shining light that we seek! I will look forward to reading it when you'll post it on Poetry Soup. Good luck with it, and may God bless you. Warmest Regards, Andrew.
