Sorry folks, this pen is quite rusty from nonuse, and lack of inspiration.  But write I will, hoping that it finds some meaning along the way.
  
==================================================

I do embrace this pain, my Lord,
this cross I’ll carry to the end.
A void of darkness fills my world,
no shard of light dares pierce its gloom.

I shall delight in saving tears
to drench my soul in loving joy.
Sustain me Lord through all my fears,
when I am weak, You be  my strength.

I float in space in aimless drift,
You are the wind that bears me up.
On stormy seas my spirits lift,
You steer my ship to haven safe.

You did it! You did it! I knew you could! Great job... I doooo think that you still express yourself very very well here and, yes, your poem makes perfect sense. I love the depth of emotion that you express here in your poem and I do thank God that He is in control even when our lives seem somehow somewhere lost in space. So Enjoyed reading you again. -Bob

Thank you Joyce and Bob.
As always, your comments inspire me to try get out of this lazy groove I'm in, force these keys to write - even gibberish, if need be.
