    • Been very busy lately. Hope to get past some huge obstacles soon so that I can focus on some writing and spiritual renewal I desparately long for.

    Prayer of a Broken Heart

     Prayer of a Broken Heart

    Sittin in this rocking chair takin in the mornin air
    Here come the tears Lord quiet these fears
    Lost in this darkness no hope I find
    Lord lift me out Your Spirit set about
    I stumble  around
    When will you my soul be found
    My life despairs I need repair
    Will suffering end
    my spirit will You mend
    It’s broken and bruised in tatters and torn
    Joy is empty sorrow is full
    My eyes ever wet Lord how I’ve wept
    My soul’s heavy laden with cruel tribulations
    Please come share these burdens I bear
    Carry me along till I be strong
    Lend to me Your gentle hand and teach me Lord
    That I may stand
    In each new precious day that dawns
    I will look to You O Lord to guide my steps
    To lead me on till we get home.
    Amen.

    Thanks for your very encouraging comments, Erica. This poem was my first, and the beginning of a life long journey in which I do look to our GOD each day for direction. Life is NOT a bed of rose petals, it has never been easy or smooth, and I will never achieve the religious community's false image of perfection.I am not The Christ, and have no delusions of trying to compete as such. I know my low estate in this life, and I'm okay with that. I do my best each day, where I am.The LORD knows all HIS own, and where we are...I'm right where HE needs me...out from the crowd, where I can hear HIS still small voice, and HE can restore my often wounded Spirit. Anyway, thanks for your encouragement. It's comforting to walk with kindred spirit.Your poetry by the way is so passionate and inspiring. Keep the fire burning! The LORD has truly blessed you with such beauty meant to be seen;so hold your light high and keep shining for this darkened world.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

    Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
