A cry

Written on a night that really made me think of the things that are important.

I don’t know what is next/my steps are shaky/like a toddler learning to walk/a cry for help/a gasp for air/a realization that this life isn’t always fair/a cry that is muffled by a tear stained pillow/a cry for wisdom/a cry for mercy is heard/the tears that are shed/trying to go to bed/

A cry from the depths of my heart/wondering if I can ever go back/to the life of joy/when this world is wailing around me/I cry out for my marriage/a union of love/it’s hard to see the good/when you’re focused on the bad/there are many things/that try to capture our minds/but in the distance/a cry can be heard/

A cry for help/a cry of desperation/my God where are you Lord/answered in His perfect love and time/the Bible is full of people crying/and it has its share of people dying to themselves/a war cry to remind us that our God will save us/

It’s hard to be humble/when your pride is like a wall/it’s on our knees and in our darkest moments/that our God makes us shine/it’s hard to tell others/because you are at a point of weakness/you don’t want others to know/

A cry for help/answered with an echo/a whisper of life can be heard for miles around/it’s hard to let yourself cry/because this world’s about being strong/it’s got it backwards/a cry for help/a cry out to God is strength/the people will cry out/and my God will hear them
