Pain knocked at my door and I cried, "I cannot let you in!"

Then Sorrow called my name and I could feel my tears begin.

I covered my ears and begged them to go, to  let me find some peace.

Why couldn't they understand when I pleaded with them for release?



But they knocked and they called and I knew no rest until I could stand no more!

In a frenzy of desperation, I unbolted, flung open my door.

"I know you mean to crush me!" I cried out in despair..

I looked around in fear...but I saw no one was there!



Then in a flash I saw them!  They were locked within my heart!

"Too late, too late," I moaned as I bid them begone and depart.

They have fled and left me forlorn...they have taken away my soul,

Freed from this life at last...but  to pay such a grievous toll...



Pain and Sorrow flew up to the Lord and told Him about my plight,

And the Lord looked down with pity, but tears were blinding my sight.

I stood before Him trembling..."I did not know," I cried.

"I thought they meant to enter, but instead they were locked inside..."



"Whatever can I do now?  Wherever can I turn?

With my own hand, I took my life...too late to live and learn.

"Come," said the Lord so gently, "Mercy is in My hand.

I was called the Man of Sorrows, so well do I understand.



"My healing knows no bounds...does not cease with mortal life.

It's never too late to bind and mend that soul tormented with strife.

If man could but understand...the bottomless well of My love,

It reaches the deepest depths, flowing with Grace from the Father above."

Again, I'm glad we've gotten things straightened out.

If only we could grasp the bottomless well of love He has for us. He is our all loving, ever so patient God.

So very well written!!

This is a beautifully written poem,after my mother passed away of a stroke, I knew that God had healed her, she was a very unhappy person and I knew that now she finally knew peace of mind because of His merciful healing and Love. Thank you.  Ellie

So much thought in this well written piece.  It indicates you've known deep pain in your heart and despair.  God has great purpose for each of us to be here while He allows, althought like so much else in His wisdom, we cannot understand, like you said of His depth of love.  Thank you for sharing this gem.

I feel that we can only begin to grasp the depth of the love God has for us. His mercy is far beyond what we can understand.
It's clear that you have seen and felt pain. I only wish some could know that Jesus is the life line.
Hugs to you,
Deb

A truly moving piece.
If this was written in a time of your own need, I sincerely hope you found the peace you deserve.
