This was written about a year ago..

Bleeding Heart

I carried my bleeding heart to the altar
I cried out for God to make it whole
Thinking if anyone could fix it
God would surely know
I waited and waited for the pain to cease
I prayed and cried for help
I wanted for my sorrow, some kind of release
In my face the pain was easy to see
The anguish and complete destruction
For this reason, surely he would help me
So I continued to cradle my bleeding heart
Still waiting for the simple fix
Somehow knowing, until I can repair it on my own
There can never be painlessness

Susan,  About as deep is as gets!  I hope your enjoying pains flowering bloom: perseverance, character and faith!  ...that is, if you don't mind a few lumps along the way

That would be great.  Right now I am on the phone, typing this and looking at a report.  Geez, how about Tahiti?
