In Your Place

I turned to man, but he was silent,
  with no help to offer me.
With all his knowledge and his strength,
  from me I’m not free.

I could turn to the four winds
  but nothing there’s my answer.
You had healed me of my sins,
  can’t you heal my cancer?

What will You do with me
  while I’m in this corner?
As You sail eternity’s sea,
  I’m here on Time’s border.

It seems to me I’ve nothing left
  except my trust in You.
With a soul and life bereft,
  how will You be shown true?

With my words now in the air
  I cannot but wait.
In Your ear is my prayer
  for my pathetic state.

So what will be my latest lot,
  the end of my own story?
Is the end my last spot
  or is healing Your next glory?

    I am deeply touched by your words. Mere words on my part can’t begin to tell you how much this means to me.
    best wishes and blessings to you - always.

    This is a wonderful poem full of beautiful thoughts. I especially like verse 3 lines 3 & 4 and verse 4 lines 1 & 2. I can feel your faith and trust in God and utter dependence on Him and the way you are waiting for His answer. I know God has heard all our prayers for her healing. Bless you
