The Lords Letter To Trish

So many yesterdays filled with pain

You cry out but it seems in vain

Bitter thoughts taint your mind

Your happy tomorrows left behind

"Why can’t you hear me" Is what you say

As I long for your love, you turn away

Desperation, fills your heart

As each minute passes we are further apart

Just look to me and you will know

My love for you, I will not let go

Although you cannot see me

Please know that I am here

Wanting to hold you, to show you I care

When the time is right, you will be lifted

Away from this place to be with the gifted

To never know sorrow, To never know pain

To never feel unworthy again

Keep your eyes open and you will see

All you have needed, has been here

                              with me

Beautiful...........

Hi Julie Thanks so much for this write, it will reach out to many that have all but given up hope for what ever their reasons. This is a beautifully written message that i am sure many people want and actually need to hear!!! I loved this one!!! Kind regards Feebie Mistakes happen, do not dwell on them, live them, mourn them and move on to better things. (PS: if that does not work eat lots and lots of chocolate)

Thank you Feebie

I am very happy that you like this one. I wrote it for my sister who was and is having a hard time with life. I tell her to look to God for help when she needs it but she does not believe in God. I do and I know it is hard to face lifes beating without hope that it will get better someday. That is what God is for me HOPE, hope of a better today, tomorrow, and forever. Take care and lets keep sharing. :)

I call myself a spiritual atheist

but the last night I ever used heroin, 14 years ago, I got on my knees like a kid and prayed for help. There is something, still won't call it god (it helped me anyway and has many times since) but I pray your sister finds it too. Yes, I believe in the power of prayer and I meant that sincerely, I offer a prayer for your sister. Tell her we don't have to abandon our intellect to faith, we don't even have to believe, whatever it is is just there, we only have to ask. cheers, Jess
