Pain,
Slowly eating you alive,
Aching day after day,
enveloping your life so
you know no other.
Struggling to find reason,
to believe......to have faith.
And then it happens.
You discover that you are not alone.
There is someone there to hold you, to share with you,
to love.
The pain lessens as the burdens
are shared amongst two.
Healing of the past begins.
Slowly you begin to believe....
you dare to dream.
Only to have it snatched away
in an instant.
The dreams quickly fade away.
The pain rapidly returns and is more intense than ever.
Realizing that people do not want to share pain.
This knowledge has caused
a different pain.
A pain that takes away hope.....
causes dreams to fade away.....
and attempts to destroy faith.
Praying for strength to deal........
Oh my Lord.....please help me!

A New Day

Each morning I awake
And realize that a new day has come.
A day of bright sunshine
or even of stormy skies.
As I struggle to climb out of bed
I realize that it is
yet another day
filled with pain and struggles.
There were NO miracles
that occurred overnight.
No pain free days
despite my constant prayers.
No solutions to my problems
came through the night.
My life today
is the same as yesterday.
A quiet prayer is said
asking for release.
And then I get up
And paste on a happy smile.
For anger only intensifies
the struggles of
my life.
It is best left to
smile each day
So that I can wake again
tomorrow
