Tears
Rivers of Sorrow wash over my soul
Cleansing renewing and making me whole
Memories of pain now distant, unclear
You realise it was but folly to fear
The rivers have slowed, now but a trickle
Each drop creates a cool calming ripple
That spreads from the soul, relieving your pain
Life no longer seems futile, in vain

The past now gone, the journey resumes
Happy for now the future still looms
Many more times will you bathe in those rivers
Just because people are takers not givers
I hear you asking me, "when will it end"
Only when he comes- Jesus, my friend

Sometimes life feels like nothing more than a series of trials; but on the other hand, it can also be seen as a series of joys... all the same in the end, either way.  I like the positive spin on this. It often feels like such a struggle to climb out of the 'hole' but it is worth it.

Very well written! The message is well conveyed.

Jesus has already come and promised to stay with us till the end of time ... we do have the power and His support to bring more love and justice into our world NOW. Unconditional love is the magic word that makes it possible, we need to practice it, beginning with us and our own endeavours. Not easy, but POSSIBLE.
