  • Been on a hiatus for awhile, but I'm back and have the itch to write some poetry.

A View From Afar

nothing hurts as much
as a loved one who's in pain
when you have to sit and watch
as it courses through his veins
and there's nothing you can do
but offer sage advice
for he has made his bed
and now he has to lie
hopefully he will see
that what he did was wrong
that you still believe in him
and your love for him is strong
pray that he'll find strength
in the strong arms of God
help him find his faith
as he grasps the Iron Rod
for when bad things happen
its easy to wonder why
why God wasn't there for him
as he looked down from the sky
but he was up there watching
from in his golden throne
he knows all about him
he is never all alone
its in these times of weakness
that he'll truly find his strength
he may feel God's forsaken him
sometimes when he prays
 but its in his thunderous silence
when God truly speaks
I hope he knows his loving hands
are never out of reach

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
