When your friend is hurting, you hurt too. Was it something you said? Is there something you could do?
Was it something that I said? To make you feel so sad? The pain and hurt profound Let me please try to sooth.... With a whisper secret from the rain.... Rain makes plants grow in early spring To create such lovely and beautiful things Flowers, trees, plants prospering In the fullness of the rain. Than fall appears, along with the rain... The wind flicks the drops about And then old man winter shouts, "my turn..." The rain freezes in fear and doubt The colder the raindrops sprout They transform in white clutters array Settling on snowcaps along the way. Rain in different climates dropping down from heaven Refreshing is only how they want to play. People don't wake up saying I want to hurt someone today. When hurting people are hurting They can only give what they've stored away. Forgive them quickly my dear friend, Give your hurt to God that way, He will protect, provide, and heal you Of each hurt you have hurt today.

Very perceptively written, Sharon. Your capacity to think deeply about things, from God's perspective, results in some very powerful and touching poems. This is one of them.
This is sound and insightful advice, Sharon; particularly since there's not lack of hurt to go around. Thank you. Love and peace to you,
Regis

To tell the truth, I I find great support from my wife who always gave me great advice. But we are both believers and God has always been with us. Great poem. Victor

This is beautiful, inspiring I always go to the father when I am hurt. he does sooth the pain away and he mends the way once more. Bless you

This is beautiful and so true, I too try to forgive those who hurt me in my reviews, or in life, we have to remember that they are only trying to capture the attention, that they are lacking something in life. Write on and be blessed in the writing, I enjoyed
God Bless

Indeed, when we hurt we should give what we have stored to cause this hurt away. We need God's strength to do this, otherwise in our weakness we cling to it. We know only too well from experience.

Sharon this is so beautiful, and oh so true.
"Give your hurt to God that way,
He will protect, provide, and heal you
Of each hurt you have hurt today."
I hoope the people that have tried to hurt me reads this...it would be nice...people try to hurt but when you have so much GOD inside of you it seems to hurt a little less you know? It seems as if he cushions every blow so that you may continue to love the person perhaps that has hurt you.
