On A Journey To The Unknown

Tunnel of Darkness
~ By Sue ~

For two long weeks I looked
For a job every single day
And waited for them to call
But, the waiting did not pay

A tunnel of darkness
I travel right through
With no hope in my sight
No matter what I do

My faith is running out
With each day that goes by
Trying to hang on
And asking myself - why

I do the things I should do
Trying to get back on my feet
But, there are those times
I feel like I am beat

The bills are piled so high
With no money to pay
And I am beginning to wonder
Just where I will stay

Sue, things have a way of working themselves out. I'm sure in God's time all will be well with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ooh, you brought back the very feeling of the times when I've been there. It does end, though not always in the way you expect, and as Hemingway said, you heal stronger in the broken places.

God's light will shine and you will see it at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there and keep banging on doors.

Sue, I haev been there more times than is comfortable to say... you are very talented. Just remember that your Higher Being would never give you any challenges you could not work through.

SmartChick, this is so touching
and I feel for you!

When you think you have heard it all,
listen more closely.

Sorry your having such a hard time right now...this is the kind of poem all of us could have written at some time in our lives...life can be a struggle...but it is the struggle that motivates us to find a new direction...one thing is sure...something will happen for your favor...be strong...James

Sue, you are really being tested right now. Remember, the darkest comes before the dawn--keep yours eyes and heart open and the sun will start streaming into your life--besides, it's springtime and you have wonderful new energy coming in now! Keep the faith and you will be rewarded! Stay positive! That is very important!

Warm Irish hugs,
Linda

Sue, this touched me so that I don't know
what to say. Just know that my thoughts and
my prayers are with you.

Heart Hugs,
Ethel
