Notes About The Poem

Written July 23, 2023

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The S I L E N T Treatment

My insecurities, taunting me
With the s i l e n t treatment, enoughs
Stirring up doubt inside, where 
I hide all the loose ends, the frailties
Little uncertainties, haunting me

With the assumptions, the assurance
I’m not good enough, never
Good enough – wise enough,
Kind enough – bright enough

Never will be sure enough
Can’t imagine being pure enough
No, I know I’ll never be enough

I know I’m not enough,
But, still I want the joy, the love
That comes from sharing my life
Without someone I love, 
Someone who will understand,
The wonder of a friend,
The tenderness of a man,
It must be God’s plan…

Because He gave me someone to love
Someone who is sure, makes me feel secure,
Comforts and encourages, soothes away
My doubts, the darkness, the past –
Lifts me out of the clouds that blot out
My dreams, my faith, my hope

He quiets ever tear, all the fear
With the promise that He is here
Always, throughout it all, through every year… 
My knight in shining armor – and, I love him so – love him so much more

Beautiful love, peace and joy the Lord has placed within, all have a void and this world creates chaos in rejecting God, but what a blessing for those which have His presence within and surrounding protection: )
