Hurts by language penetrates the very depths of our being leaving its damage in permanence..Sara
There are some wounds that will not heal because
the arrow was at close range _driven deep.
There is not need for antiseptic and gauze
for permanent is damage that still weeps.

These wounds that will go to eternal sleep
where my Savior will say, "I understand".
He'll cleanse and bind_healing forever, keep
roots of hurt that he'll remove with nail scared hand.

How I would like for them to now be gone.
Emotions of delight from their release.
But while on earth pain like a dry pinecone
constant in my emotions and heart unease.

Someday he will wipe away all those tears
New found peace and no more tormenting fears..

Count is off on some lines...Pardonner s'il vous plai't

This is beautiful Sara. Love it. Reminds me of wounds I have that as you say still weep because they were driven deep from close range. However, I still try hard to forgive because The Lord says I must if I want His forgiveness for my own sins against Him. He forgives as we forgive others. We have to bear this in mind. My wounds happened over 40years ago and I still can't forget it. A fine piece Sara. Thanks so much for sharing. God Bless, JB

True sir, Practical words, Some wounds are sharp, Healing only after end, Of course, Jesus awaits, Let us surrender to Him.

Smile ˜ Very Beautiful, My Dear Pricious & Priceless Beautiful Sara ˜ Reminds Myself Of CHRIST JESUS Praying Unto OUR HEAVENLY FATHER * To Remove This Cup, "Yet Not MY Will, But YOUR Will Be Done." ˜ I Used To Exercise Quite A Bit & Whenever I Would Work A Body Part Which Had Not Been So For A Few Days Then I Learned To Expect A Bit Of Pain Afterwards But, It Produced A Pretty Sight Amid Some Tiny Light ˜ Smile, Crush Me Daddy, That I May Rise ˜ My Love to You, John!:) ˜
