God, I know you have your reasons And since I am your child Please know my questions are innocent As I place them before you with my heart open wide I know I must have faith in your purpose of life But sometimes my body weeps from strange depths of me inside It's like my heart is wrenching and Pouring through my eyes the pain is real and the things I feel I cannot push aside Oh the agony of listening to my worst enemy I tell myself To hold the faith and calm the misery Who's to blame for this sorrow and shame? That rears its head It's ugly name That pushes me close To the pits of hell Someone that I know too well Why God must I be tried has my plea of mercy been denied? Is he throwing a parade as I cry To welcome my arrival to his side? Celebrating my lost soul Like his favorite politician that won the majority vote? NO! I will not go there! Oh God I will not disappoint you. I will not run the race. I'm tired of him twisting your grace. I know YOU LOVE ME! Please, Please Make him leave me be. And suddenly... I find a note left on the bureau From my daughter to me. Dear Mommy, I hope you have a great day Hugs and kisses P.S. You're the best mommy in the whole world And your love poured down on me! |

Rwood - What a heart felt poem, isn't great how He chases that old imp away when we call for Him. This was beautiful, with a terrific message....thanks for sharing this. Bonnie |

Oh I love this, especially the last line, "and Your love poured down on me." We cannot know how weak or strong our faith until it's tested. Our Lord already knows, and through testing, shares that knowledge with us, as when the cock crowed. Thank you. |

I love it! I loved the last line too! He has a way of showing us don't He? That's awesome! <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

I liked your poem a lot. Sometimes we all feel dispare and lost, we must remember at these, our lowest points, lay our sins at the cross and forget them, as they are forgiven. Isn't it just like Jesus to have your precious daughter send you the message that uplifted you. You are not alone, we all feel this way sometimes, neither or we perfect nor or we suppose to be. God Bless Alle' |

RWOOD, Your poem is a very moving piece, and even the twist of the title, is such a wonderful touch. The God who promises to supply all the needs of His children, Is he not the God of Providence as well, working our His good for us through the many facets/avenues and people in our lives-how wonderfully you made that connection as seen in your daughter's timely (perfectly timed & placed) note. Thanks for sharing this lovely piece & moment of discovery & recovery with us!

rdwood, i loved the title, i loved the message, i loved your style, i loved this poem! Isn't God great - how He sends us what we need when we are at our breaking point (works best in our weakness doesn't he? that scripture is so evident here!). I do hope your days are looking up my dear? Bless you! |

Dear R; I almost didn't see this beautiful poem of yours. A great lesson to us all is written here. As your daughter[God love her] was His Grace for you, so we can heal and comfort one another with just a kind word or gesture. We are His only voice and hands and heart to spread His love. I have to tell you that darkness that you were feeling isn't going to be around much longer. I,ve been there, I was there for years, His healing was gradual, but I'm finally free of it, I can tell byy your poem that you are on the brink of the end of it! Praise God! love, ellie 02 |

Thank you all so much. I owe it all to God. I do get down, but he has never failed to pick me up higher than even I could imagine. I appreciate the sharing and caring and wonderful spirit in this forum. God bless you all and I pray that he touches millions through our words. Sincerely, Rwood |
