I try to smile,
At least for awhile.
Just for you,
Hoping you don't have a clue.
The truth is stress;
I wear that black dress.
Stained with tears.
Sewn with my lingering fears.
I try to fight
Alone in the night
Against madness
Pushing through all the sadness.
Though it is dark,
Hope is still a spark.
By my side
Is He who lives though He died.
So I shall stand,
But not on the sand.
On the Rock
Is where my heart placed its lock.
Jesus is love
Peaceful like a dove.
He is strong.
The road won't always be long.
So do take hold
See God's love unfold.
Accept grace,
And look forward to His place.
