My World

She cries when I answer the phone.

Children off to school..                  

And feeling so alone                                               

How can I do this?

How to keep going?

..Heartsick in the knowing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                              

…Lord I’m tired too and..

I don’t want to talk..

How do I give what I haven’t got??

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I remember that Voice

                                That still small Voice.

That calms me to stillness,

                          and brings me to fullness..

~~~~~~~~~~~

“I am here,

And I’ve got an ear..

I’ll lend it to you my dear.

It’s all I’ve got .

But the Master is here

He holds you near..

and together we’ll soak

in His infinite cloak

                       of loving kindness…”
