Late Night Emotions

Words cascade down
like fallen bullets
that pitter
and patter
as they crash down
with each hit
they explode
an electrical impulse connecting to a new node
a new thought
that brought
a new wave of tears
and eruption of fears
and doubts and questions

but the one who loves her most
brought us to her side
not to hide
but to be
not to judge
but to see
that she is hurting
and when pain threatens to swallow
and life seems hollow
to shed some light
of how bright
and beautiful she is
and Lord, what a shame
it is

who is to blame?
for the pain
streaked across her chest
and running down her eyes
what is the name
of the one who took her life
not literally
but emotionally
spiritually
wrecked her

a beautiful girl
and so sweet
who will eventually meet
the love of her life
but, Lord, to get through what seems like this impossible strife
I don't understand
and so I hold her
with the love I hold my kids
at work
knowing
that sometimes
when words won't suffice
and there is no advice
all we need is love.

So thankful that God sent us there today, more and more evident God's beautiful plan and how he looks out for us even in the way of sending people to take care of us when we didn't know we needed it. None of that was our doing, it was all his. So sad and yet so thankful! Thankful for him!

My go to verse:

"Do not be afraid for I am with you,
Do not be discouraged for I am your God,
I will strengthen and help you,
I will raise you in my victorious right hand."
