In living I have not learned life
And so it goes as I fall down
In dying I have not learned death
And so beneath my tears I drown.
Lord Jesus please forgive my sins
And make me walk with thee
My stubborn and deceitful heart
Is thrashing in the sea.
I can’t ignore the pain inside
And yet when I to sin do run
My pains they grow and multiply
And I feel all alone.
In weakness do I long for death
In fear I wish to cease my pain
Though you have promised happy breath
I scarce believe the storm in rain.
My little faith is what I have
And nothing do I care to bring
My righteousness a filthy rag
And I have lost the heart to sing.
Lord do not delay.
A Soul's Walk 
WOW, this is so heartfelt–well done. And I can so relate.
I am always glad to hear I am not alone.
That’s one of the perks of blogging–long-distance empathy.
Would it be alright for me to reblog this, partner? I’m thinking around midnight-ish….
By all means.
Thanks!

This heartfelt poem is by a poet I met when I began blogging 3+ years ago. I suspect it will touch many of your hearts as deeply as it did mine–so give it a read, and then visit his blog. God bless and heal all poets who call on Him.
Stirring words.
Glad you’re pleased–thanks for allowing me to share you here.
A soulful prayer. Ask and you shall receive. Beautiful
I pray that God would make room in my heart to receive it…and others as well.
So deeply touching…its earnestness brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, Be well.
