Jennifer's Notes

A Poem: My Heart's Tearful Whispers

The wound on my foot

Opened anew, bleeding.

But I no longer feel

The same pain it brings.

I looked outside the window

And stared at the dull night sky.

I can't see a single star twinkling.

Are they behind the clouds to hide?

I felt a liquid drop

On my folded arms.

I looked up to see if it's raining

But everything just went blurry.

I know I should not cry

But I can't hold my tears back.

I know I can be honest

About what I feel right now.

Lord, I can't seem to find

Enough reason to smile.

But in these storms of life

I'll still lift my praise on high.

"Pray," is all they've got to say.

But I can't find my voice to speak.

This river of tears is washing away

My courage, making me so weak.

But, in this weakness,

I found myself kneeling,

Leaning on Your strength,

Beholding Your beauty.

I can't just lose my hold on You.

'Cause I'll surely go insane if I do.

You're the only hope I have

And, in You, I'll always trust.
