I Walked In Your Shoes, You'r e Not Alone






Wounded, scarred, dirty, I have been there,
Flickering between light and dark, feelings heading nowhere.
I washed and washed, nothing seemed to work,
Nobody recognized, the shame in the dirt.

I have been there, I know how you feel,
Emotions reeling, don’t know wich is real.
I become distant, the world left behind,
All I was, who I am, now hard to find.

Then the light shined ,through my window sill,
As I heard a voice, saying He loved me still.
Bringing me some comfort, some peace,
I began with a prayer, upon bended knee.

He gently place His hand, upon my burdened heart,
As I sat crying, releasing , He kept me from falling apart.
My head, rested upon His chest,
His words smoothing, as His hands did the rest.

Healing emotions, that had gone cold,
Embracing my being, releasing the damaging hold.
The shame, the hate, the guilt, the misery,
Within a moment, was wiped free.

His hand brushed the tears, until the cheek was dry,
Told me He loved me, and hates it when I cry.
Said all will be just fine, if I believe in Him,
Said the enemy will answer for, this awful sin.

His smile, most precious then I have ever seen,
His eyes soaking in, all that He needs.
His hands were gentle, as they were placed in mine,
The presence of the Maker, wasn’t hard to find.

As I reciprocated His love, I found my peace,
As in a final blessing, He gave some friends to me.
Special one’s, that understood where I had been,
Not asking questions, just lending me their hands.

So as I travel daily, I have many by my side,
Friends far and wide, that have laughed and cried.
Sharing my pain, sharing my laughter, holding me high,
And to know most of all, I have Jesus on my side.

I have made it, my light now does shine,
I have life again, one that’s all mine.
Nothing can take it now, nothing at all,
For when things get hectic, He lifts me when I fall.

So believe me, I know where you have been,
And now how hard it is, to get back in the swing again.
Just know you have many, who are right by your side,
But most of all, you have the most precious gift inside,

…………His Loving Spirit, His gentle love…..

    This is so beautiful. I liked that yours was about my God, because my friend is a Christian and really believe in God. Although her faith has been tested by this. This was so beautiful and the rhythm that you used in it was lovely, it all flowed really well.

    I really like the picture as well. Thank you so much for taking your time to do this, it's just such an amazing piece of writing, and just so inspiring.

    Oh can as that I have your ap name and real name please? Thank you.

    I am sorry the both of you had to go through this experience. It isn't easy for the poet and the victim. As long as you have God and Jesus, you live through anything and be stronger for it.
