This poem is dedicated to those who bear the weight
of emotional pain deep within their heart. It is a pain so intense that they find it difficult
to entrust it to others, even close friends and family.
To those who have been abused sexually, physically or emotionally,
to those who carry the weight of broken relationships,
to those whose scars on their heart have not been healed,
to those who know the darkness of lonliness,
know that God is there for you. He hears your prayers.
You can trust Him with your hidden pain.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3: 5-6
Secrets of My Heart


In the darkness of the night,
my tears flow freely from my heart.
They remind of a darker past,
one that I wish that I could part.

I cannot tell all of everything I feel,
but only hope it can be understood,
that beyond what can be seen,
is a depth that has been transformed to good.

I cannot tell the secrets of my heart,
but God knows them better than me.
I only hope that I can someday trust,
that if I tell them, love will set me free.

For I cannot trust just anyone
with all the pain I bear inside.
But I know that the love of Christ,
has come into my heart to abide.

For �tis that trusting love of Christ,
that takes my deep down hurt and pain,
my failures and my mistakes,
and somehow turns my losses to treasures for my gain.

And yet, still, I keep those precious jewels,
hidden deep in the treasure box of my soul.
Only God�s love, the perfect love, has a key,
for it�s His love that makes me whole.

And it�s in that love, that I can trust,
that from the past will be a release.
Yet for now, I hold my secrets in my heart,
and pray one day for eternal peace.
