Today is raining with sadness
The sky is dark with madness
Thunder roars causing me to fear
Yet, my Lord, I know you are near
Through the storm and through the rain
I trust that faith, hope and love remain
The bouquet I hold has many thorns that pierce
The pain is intense; the agony is fierce
I cannot see the beauty nor smell the sweet aroma
My affliction has sent my senses into a coma
Though thorns puncture holes inside my skin
I know your peaceful spirit dwells within
I am in a valley and cannot see the mountain peak
Still I climb upward though my hope seems bleak
I reach for your hand to pull me over the rocky ground
I am lost on this nighttime climb waiting to be found
Though I know I will not survive this climb alone
I believe you will not leave me to wonder and roam
The rain does not cease I and feel myself slide
Yet you remain patience walking at my side
In my pain and in my sorrow you have cried
In the midst of the violent storm, with me, you abide
Though the trouble does not end
I take comfort that you are my friend

This Is Beautiful
This is a prayer that I can really relate too. Oh wow faith as a mustard seed sometimes for the pain is so agonizing.
Though the trouble does not end
I take comfort that you are my friend
I can't imagine not having the Lord and walking through my valleys as of late in my life. I think I would have killed myself by now. God's patience with me like you said in your prayer poem is astounding. I cry so deep, the storm is so violent for sure. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful realistic heart felt reality that comes across all of our paths in life at some point, for the most part. We all have many of trials and it seems for some more then others. Why that is I do not know??? It is what it is and I guess you try to make the best of it and try to count the blessings you do have. Easier said then done when in the pit of dispair. I'm grateful and thank you for reminding me that the Lord is my friend and I'm not alone, not ever!!! Excellent poem and the rhyme is nice too. The imagery was all there and the emotions and depth of feelings from ones hear and soul are there too. Excellent Write. Thank you for sharing with me.
Much Love
Many Blessings
