Just to clarify....I write when I feel sad or down as a release. I am not a sad person - even if my poetry seems as such. We all hurt from time to time if we risk our hearts.
My hope is that if you are looking for your healing today, this poem will touch your heart with the knowing you are loved with a love beyond compare and beyond our wildest dreams.
May we allow healing from the inside out...not the outside in.
God's Blessings to you

~ The Walk ~
Good morning my child;
It's always so good to talk.
Please take my hand now;
Let's go for a little walk.
I've missed our time;
I've missed your precious smile.
It seems life is keeping you quite busy;
You haven't been still with me, in quite awhile.
I know you have questions;
For many there are no words.
Yet I see them in your eyes;
I feel every one of your hurts.
You know I hold great things for you;
Yet you hang on to things that aren't my best.
Thinking somehow I've forgotten you;
Or maybe this is some kind of test.
Oh sweet child, hear me;
I love you more than you can possibly know.
All that you aspire to become;
Requires each lesson, in order for you to grow.
I know it hurts at times;
But it is you ~ who I need strong.
The deeper the pain, the greater the purpose;
Remember� you are right where you belong.
Lay your head here on my shoulder;
Let my touch warm you deep inside.
Know I feel your joy and pain;
I hear each laugh and see every tear you've cried.
That poem was beautiful and really spoke to my heart. I lost my husband on Sept. 2, 2009, after 2 and 1/2 yrs battling pancreatic cancer. It has really been hard. The first year was like a fog. But this past fall, it really hit me. His birthday and our anniversary are in Nov. Then we have the usual holidays. It was so, well I don't know the exact word. I was, for lack of a better word, lost. He was an ordained minister, and though he never pastored, he was greatly involved in several ministries at our church. My only identity was his wife. Suddenly I didn't know who Becky was. It has been a journey, and the Lord has brought me through. We would have celebrated our 30th yr. annivesary Nov. 16th, 2009, had he lived. I have, just this last March, started a new chapter in my life. It has been and still is a little scary, but I know the Lord is with me every moment. This poem so touched me I just had to write you. Thank you for being so sensitive, and so giving of yourself!
I joined this site because my daughters wanted me to meet new friends. And I have. One in particular. He lives in my state and he loves the Lord with all of his heart. He really is one of the good guys. We are just friends for now, and that is ok for me. If the Lord so chooses to bless our friendship to a higher level, then well, we will just cross that bridge when we get there. I just love talking to him about the Lord! Not once has he been out of line or inappropriate like some of the other guys. I am truky blessed to have him as a friend.
Thanks again-I just wanted you to know how you blessed my heart today.
