at her Dad's when she spoke of his pain.
I said in Jesus name, amen.
instantly Jesus did reign.


Danny said "I just don't understand how
the pain can go away just like that".
"Marty said "cause momma just prayed ".
His body is riddled with cancer,
Lupus and other crap.

I feel his pain while he's sleeping
At night When his breathing
Wants to stop.
In Jesus name amen,
My soul cry's out
Then his breathing starts.

We all know we'll have to let
Jesus take him Away,
"Cause we'll all be connected in soul
Only his worn out body will stay.

Sadly that is the only way someone suffering from this ***** up disease can be well. So sorry, Emy. I completely relate...unfortunately. :(

Very moving and poignant.
I can feel the emotion and I can feel your pain and sorrow.
You've reminded me that life deals cards and we can only take the hand we are given and try to make the best of that.

emystar,

a beautiful and moving poem. Painful experiences draw from the deepest wells of our being, to sometimes express themselves so poetically and heartfelt. Peace.
