Listening to every heart

0 posted 2001-08-11 08:14 AM




My child, I've heard your whispers
when you speak to the silence in your mind,
you ask me what I see in you
if I see in you any reason or rhyme.

I see the great cheer in you
   and in you I see the delight,
as you go forth to the less fortunate
   and guide them through the night.

I see the shame in you
   for past transgressions wrought,
I see the forgiveness that you ask
   for you've realized what can't be bought.

I see in you, my child, the hurt
   over your stubborn pride,
and I would ask that you continue to pray
   and from me, never hide.

I see past pain, and continued hope
   I see troubled shadows creep within,
I see you raise your eyes to heaven
   I see the tremble in your chin.

In your eyes I see your grace,
   I see the tears well up in your eyes
every time you lift your face
   your love cannot be compromised.

I see a heart that bares its soul
   I see you impart great golden goals
even though yours have not been met
   you've prayed to me, I don't forget.

I see you try to do your best,
   and every day you wonder "oh my ~
did I slip, break a heart, or worse?"
   that's when I caught you on the fly.

O my child, continue on,
do your best in my name
and continue please to pray to me,
and I will keep you from shame.

Love, God

Stunning, stirring and sedate, a word from God to those who can relate.

Gee ... you get a letter direct from 'Him' ... with me they play pass the buck or at best a busy signal

Very beautiful Karilea
