Each day I stand
Before self pity and
Then go back to bed.

I dwell in silence
As I play their words
Again in my head.

Each day I rise to a
Table of mourning,
To which I sit to eat.

My body is a fleshly
Prison in which
My soul retreats.

When I sit to
Eat this food,
I actually digest my hurt.

I rarely ever
See God's sun because I
Wallow in my dirt.

The one thing that
My soul is seeking
And yet it cannot find,

A heart which sees
Beyond my body to
Explore the depths
Of my mind.

Somewhere in this body,
There is a person here.
I can be discovered
In the volume of one tear.

May His glory be fresh within me. May my heart be renewed in His hand.

Joyce Rogers

Wow!
Sure am glad I'm not in this position any longer... Made me remember much though!

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

Great write and wonderfully expressed thoughts, joyce...I enjoyed this a lot...

sp

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...
