Looking for thee

"Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted."
NIV Psalms 25:15

My spirit wanders over land and sea
Above mountains, through valleys across plains
Searching here, searching there, I am not free
Through morning dew, hot sunshine, falling rain.

Where are you my dear? I long for you, near
I need your sweetness in my soul, your glow
I'm lonely, so lonely when you're not here
My soul walks naked, raw, cold as I go.

When you were next to me I was so warm
Together we warbled each other's song
Then I awakened, reached out for your arm
I could not find you; you left me alone.

And since that day I cannot carry on
I walk alone, am blind, I cannot see
Deaf, I cannot hear; in my ear, no song
No taste, no touch, no smell, I cannot be.

And all I know is ugly rot in me
Heavy loads on rocky roads, misery.

Looking for thee.

BRAVO!!! Oh Newell, Psalm 25:15 is one pasalm that has always touched my heart so deeply, for I still struggle to find solace today and I lived through a childhood of great depression and it really wasn't until a few years ago I began turning to Him, and that is one thing I am guilty of, in which now I pledge to look to Him forever! (big hugggsssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, compassion echoes in your words, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
