thank you, you are so kind
How I love the mirror
The mirror I see
In a perfect sea
that reflects
So faithfully
The me
That is simply me
It does not choose
Or say
Let me see…
It simply reflects
Me
No defects
Or flaws
It sees
A simple fact
Of life
This mirror of acceptance
Just hold still
And you will see
And feel
The peaceful sea
Within.
The peace
Of a neutral sea.
I feel peaceful now. Just went for a walk, and this is what the sea which looked like glass and was absolutely still and peaceful inspired me to write. May your prayer helped, I am sure it did. Thank you for your kindness. I don't mean to appear so helpless because I am not in a way. I do appreciate your kindness and I admire your faith.

You are no burden to me at all. I appreciate your kind words about my poetry and I sympathize with your pain. I know that it is God, and not I, who will heal your pain, but I am honored to be his "hands and feet" in the time of need...
Dear FATHER, Please touch Marie-Claire in a special way. She knows Your love and I pray that You will allow it to fill her completely. Give her the peace that passes all understanding and comfort her as only You can. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

thank you for your compassionate words.
I actually do believe but I don't always feel the comfort of God, even though I know He cares. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by God's love and it is wonderful, I wished it would last forever when I feel good, but somehow, I seem to lose that peace for a while, and then find it again, and on it goes. I appreciate your concerns and I don't wish to burden you in any way. There is only so much another human being can do for another, God does the healing and people help along the way up to a point.

I feel that pain.
Think of it this way... You are a mother. You love your son very much. Yet you were unable to prevent the tragedy that took him from you. And as much as you may feel guilt for that loss, you cannot hold yourself responsible for his tragic decision. It's the same way with God. He loves His children longer, deeper, and much more passionately than we could ever express. And yet, because we have free will, we sometimes make decisions that put us in danger or pain. The fact that you feel pain and sorrow does not change the fact that God feels your pain and wants to help it heal. I know that this knowledge does not make the pain go away, but it is comforting to know that we do have somebody who loves us unconditionally and will cradle us in His arms when we come to Him. Please believe, because you can know that it's true. I pray that this understanding will comfort you in some small way and that He will lovingly heal your pain.

if only I believe it!
If only I believe you Lord
if only I trusted you Lord
but I only mouthe the words
they sound hollow inside
If only I believed it
because deep down I don't
or I would be so happy
I would not be writing this
but at least I am honest
and I want to believe it
with all my heart
but it is like a stone
that does not melt so easily
it barely touched the surface
hardened by too many wounds
it does not reach very deep
only the tears melt the hard
core away only tears of sadness
and gratitude will do that.
if only I believe it
but I do want to
with all that my heardened heart
can handle,
I do want to believe it
God help me!
