sometimes when I'm alone

and I can't keep it in any more

sometimes when I'm surrounded

and feel out of place

when memories weight me down

and regret and fear consume me

when I feel I've done nothing right

and everything wrong

when I know I don't deserve what I have

but still want more

when I can't forgive

when I need hope

when all I want is to give up

and sleep

forever

I cry tears of heartache

when my soul is wounded

and my faith is tested

but every tear I cry is counted

and caught in His hands

and every weeping moment

is spent

in His arms

my tears may be of pain

my tears may be of sadness

but the comfort is of God

who hates to see me cry

but knows sometimes

I need to.


Isaiah 1:18

"Everybody loves a rose, will you be thankful for the thorns?" -All Together Seperate

I like this poem a lot.  It really expresses who I am actually, even though it might not seem like it if you've read some of my other poetry.

This poem expresses how I felt for a while but have not been able to find the right words. Its very theraputic. Thanks for your thoughts they make a difference. =)

Your poem as well as the shortest scripture written in The Bible reminds me of my humanity and the caring nature of Jesus in that "He wept" and, so, I am encouraged in knowing that I am never alone in my sorrow, in my sadness, and in my humanity because Jesus and his character are the same yesterday, today, and forever and, even today, I truly believe that Jesus is touched by the feelings of our infirmities and that, when we cry, he does cry right here beside us.  I enjoyed reading your poem very much, thank you for sharing it, and Gob bless you,

-Bob

There's a reason God gave us emotions and tears.  Just knowing He is caring and compassionate often helps us feel comforted.  When we look at all He suffered, willingly, in His love for us, the emotion of overwhelming thankfulness washes over us.  Thank you for sharing this piece.

God bless,
Rae
