Tired

In the calm of the night
the tears fill my eyes
My breathing is quick
Almost painful
I feel like
Like I'm losing control
Alone and confused
Tired and hurt

A Whisper

I hear it
A whisper
Telling me to stop
To be still and listen
For what

A Prayer

Give me strength
Now as much as ever
I can't do it on my own
I need your guidance
Show me the path
And I will walk it

Thank you father, amen

With Faith

How long can I wait
As long as it takes
But this moment in time
I give you my life
Continue to shape
and show me your ways
And in the midst of that
the joy
the hope
the love
I will continue to wait
with faith

Waiting

Tonight I question
Where am I
My place in life
I don’t speak
I listen
Waiting

It's Gone

Near his heart it stayed
Cherished
Protected
Loved,
Of such a gift
He couldn’t dream
An intake of breath
Sharp,
Tears,
It’s gone
And greatly missed

Where I am

Still
Quiet
Listening
For a voice
A whisper
A breath
