I Hear You… My child, I've heard your whispers when you speak to the silence in your mind, you ask me what I see in you if I see in you any reason or rhyme. I see the great cheer in you and in you I see the delight, as you go forth to the less fortunate and guide them through the night. I see the shame in you for past transgressions wrought, I see the forgiveness that you ask for you've realized what can't be bought. I see in you, my child, the hurt over your stubborn pride, and I would ask that you continue to pray and from me, never hide. I see past pain, and continued hope I see troubled shadows creep within, I see you raise your eyes to heaven I see the tremble in your chin. In your eyes I see your grace, I see the tears well up in your eyes every time you lift your face your love cannot be compromised. I see a heart that bares its soul I see you impart great golden goals even though yours have not been met you've prayed to me, I don't forget. I see you try to do your best, and every day you wonder "oh my ~ did I slip, break a heart, or worse?" that's when I caught you on the fly. O my child, continue on, do your best in my name and continue please to pray to me, and I will keep you from shame.

![]() Sometimes, we are our worse judge. I am so glad that God sees so much more than we do in us. It is such a blessing when we can see through the eyes of our God. Thank you for sharing with us what God sees... Bob <>< |

Sunshine, Our Father in heaven is probably still braging on you to Moses or Abraham about this message in poem to us. Each line represents most all of us at a given time and what a grand service you have done in reminding us, God knows all, loves all and continually catching us. He is so wonderful. Never stop praying to Him. Really Great! |

Alle', what a very kind comment for you to make, but no, I would not want God bragging...but I WOULD want him to not give up on any of us. Thank you, sweet one... ![]() Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |

Oh Sunshine, this is so touching.. I see past pain, and continued hope I see troubled shadows creep within, I see you raise your eyes to heaven I see the tremble in your chin. The whole poem sings, but those lines particularly reached me. Simply beautiful. |

Satiate, I can cry easily, and this particular stanza I can read, but not say aloud, without a quiver in my voice. Thank you for your kind words... Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |

Sunshine I love this one! It touches right in the heart of each one who reads it! Perfection in words, I think this is just what God sees in us. He sees all and I really needed this. It did make tears well up in my eyes. Really makes you stop and think and from His point of view. Too often we just don't do that ![]() |

Sunshine, very comforting indeed, and beautiful!!! ![]() Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died, and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |

Sunshine, This is the first of your poems that I've read, since I'm very new to Passions. I'm not so good at poetry, I'm more at home in Prose. But I was browsing and read this poem. It's very touching, a comforting look into what God might think when he sees us. Though I have trouble believing he thinks that of me.... LOL Thanks for this read. ![]() Erin |

Silkdragon, welcome to Passions! God knows every hair on your head, and blesses them all. Thank you for reading this, even more for your response! I will look forward to reading some of your prose, and when you're ready to try your hand at poetry, I will read that too! If you ever want to e-mail me, feel free to do so. Your friend, Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
