"The Cross in the Ashes"

So scratch the story. I don't think I like it anymore....so I'm going to let you see this poem instead.


Hearts are breaking
Children weeping
Long hard nights
With little sleeping

Hate and anger
Lies and fears
There's no one there
To dry your tears

Your little boy
Doesn't understand
But he cries too
And you take his hand

You hold him tight
And whisper words
You don't believe
But must be heard

He's all you have
The rest is gone
You glance at the clock
Here comes the dawn

More deception
Endless lies
Charcoal truth
In disguise

You see it now
In every place
Haughty judgment
On each face

There's bitterness now
On every side
Emotion is
A rising tide

A downward spiral
No escape
Reality takes on
Distorted shape

But truth remains
And always will:
Christ died for you
And loves you still

Yes it has. I thought you were the one who posted every other day of the week... normally. Ok, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe life has finally caught up with you. Whatever.

That's a perty good poem there. Not that I'm a poetry critic.

*Gasp* It's been two weeks since you have posted, you who always complains at others when they don't post!
