I don’t know
what you are going through.
I won’t lie
and tell you that I do.
I can tell
the hurt is deep and true.
I won’t try
to offer a platitude.
All I ask
is to let me cry with you.

Your Hurt
Serious Poems
The Funeral Procession
What Will This Trial Make of Me?
You have to admit –
it’s overwhelming –
this task you are asking of me.
The burden is great –
all on my shoulders –
the outcome I can’t clearly see.
This has the power –
to break my faith –
and make my beating heart turn tough.
Or the opposite –
will happen inside –
and this will make my heart buff.
This is a hard test –
a sure dilemma –
what will this trial make of me?
Will I be better?
Or will I break apart?
My response defines who I will be.

The pain one lost soul
causes with an act of violence. Continue reading
Time
If you allow it, there is no
physician’s touch that can heal
like time –
Unless the wound is infected
with that poisonous toxin
regret.
So, how you choose to fill your days
will determine your state
of mind –
Will you let time mend old hurts
or will you cling to all that
past debt?

The Race
If life were a race for us to run
we have tools to guide us to victory:
Faith is believing there is a finish line
even though hidden from what we see.
Hope is trusting we will cross the finish line
even though we may be weary.
Charity is ensuring when we cross the line
we have plenty of company.

Who is creating a fuss –
causing ruckus?
This scene is quite the ado
a short stack blew. Continue reading
