A Step Back in Selflessness
By: Sarah Faithy early 2006
Note: this poem means alot to me because of the fact that I was going through a rough time, when I wrote it.  What was crazy about it was, God spoke to me THROUGH to me  while I wrote it...and I grew.  I really grew that day.
Pain is not the phrase to feel 
exactly how I do
Ache comes close, but even so
its meaning is but crude.
Break - is what I did when I
cried and realized
that loving you meant backing off
and letting God decide.
Tears that fell like healing rain
were all but bottled in,
I laughed! - I tried, but wept inside
and Jesus flooded in.
"Patience is your grace today,
for you to bear with Joy.
For when this time is over,
your heart, My Will employ.
It will not last as long, you fear
He is only but a guy.
I need to work in him, as you!
My plan's to beautify."
No, pain is not the phrase to feel
exaclty where I am
Faith is how I'll make it through
all aches of stepping back.
And love in hand with faith,
must all love-suffering show
that to be selfless in my state,
I first must let you go.
