            "HOW"

How do you mend a broken heart,
When the one you love is gone?

How do you stop the tears from
falling, when you fill so alone?

How do you face another day of
your usual every day strides?

How do you continue to be yourself,
When what you loved most has died?

How do you keep a smile on your face,
When inside your world is broken?

How do you close your mind, when you
hear their voice with soft words spoken?

How do you close your eyes, when only
their face you see?

How do you go on with your life, when it
means nothing to thee?


How do you find the answers to these
questions you might ask,
You place your heart in Gods hands,
and it becomes his task.

He'll carry you through the storms of
life, that you thought you'd never manage,
He becomes your heart and soul, and you
take every advantage.

He puts that smile back on your face,
when you never thought you'd smile again,
He's always there to comfort you, and he'll
become your closest friend.

He makes you see you have a purpose,
and that you were left behind for a reason,
He becomes your savior, he'll carry you
through all seasons.

Now what you do, is drop to your knees,
and give thanks to the good Lord up above,
For he not only watches over you,
he's caring for the ones we've loss and loved....

It's so much easier when we allow Him to carry the burden, isn't it? Great expression of faith, Sharon!

Sharon, you answered this so wonderfully,
now I love to critique but honey, this is too special for something mundane like that

Yes, if I didn't believe in every word of that, I wouldn't be at this keyboard today!
He may give us heavy loads, but knows how much we can handle.....Thanks..
