A Gift of Sorrow
 
I close my eyes
It all goes away.
Today, tomorrow
The sorrow.
 
I open my eyes
Rushes back in.
Curse at my Lord
I’ve committed a sin.
 
If I keep them closed
I hide within.
Will he forgive me?
I’ve cursed him.
 
Open my eyes
Accept tomorrow.
The gift he’s given
The sorrow.

We all at times lose the battle to be perfect...try as we will life seems to have ways of getting us down. To believe in God is to believe that he is a forgiving diety and as our creator must also understand our weakness as will as our strength. Well done Deb...honest and open write that most will appreciate.

You almost sneeked this one by me. Thankfully you did not. This I believe was a writing of repent. And all the sorrow YOU have been through this poem is approx. As always it was extremely well written.
GOD BLESS YOU

Many haunting thoughts and feelings about this.
I close my eyes, and put on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Sweet sorrow.

John
