Dirge for a Sister

Chasing dreams have left you bankrupt,
You return with less than what you had.
Seeking men who left you used up,
Your soul feels black and left for dead.

There's a Voice speaking in Your life,
That says you've left your First love.
Whispers in your sleep, shouts in your strife,
Wise as serpents, gentle as a doves.

When will you see what you pursue,
Has left you high and dry?
Your heart is backward, and so untrue,
He's not before your eyes.

Your greed has left you owing the bank,
Your hands in empty pockets.
Fleeting joys have all but sank;
Your hopes are crashing rockets.

Insanity pursues what's routine,
Expecting a different outcome.
To this one, the Lord's unseen;
A strange and foreign unloved Son.

    Nicely done, a very poetic way to ask prayer for and tell the story of a soul that has slid backwards. To many times this happens and by Gods grace they can be restored.

    we don't always see,

    what is right in front of us.

    God does send us who or what we need.

    insanity pursues what's routine

    it can put us on a neverending cycle.

    my prayers are with your friend.

    compassionate write my friend

    God bless

    He is the champion of unrequited love, and is merciful enough to never let the frantic pursuit of adoration satisfy. May God send an angel to keep D. sane, and hopeful. I pray she longs for Jesus in her dreams...

    Oh oh!

    Someone's in trouble! Just posted lots of lyric about being full & filled with grace & now I see this! Poor soul needs to get out her Bible & especially suck in the NT! I'll be 4 this woman! My heart is sad. When we don't understand His love for us we've a problem learning how to love ourselves & be loving in the proper way. Come Master come! As always, great timing & rhyming.
