Silent Tears
Words that are meant to bless you- I am not sure where to start; But somewhere in those words… I would like them to touch your heart! I can feel your loneliness, I can sense your despair There is no way I can know the hurt, But there are so many that care!
I remember the headlights, Then there was an awful crash- Finding the children with no pulse… And my husband through the dash! The silent tears… Came unbidden, flooding my face; Though those tears are often hidden- Can I lean on God’s grace? They took me to the hospital- I did not want to go. I was on a ride I could not get off of, A twilight zone kind of show! The funeral… Each new battle from day to day; Silent tears no one will ever see, God, do you hear me pray? Why did I survive? Why did You allow me to live? Help me to beat the devil Lord… Show me what I have to give. I can tell how much you miss them, By the silent tears that you don’t cry; But only God has the answer, To all of the times that you ask why! - L. Watson, 10/10/2016
You may wonder if there is a purpose, In that broken and confused life…
God, I did not ask for misery; I sure did not ask for strife!
Well, all things work together sis, And is sufficient in His grace; The devil wants you to quit, He wants you out of the race. The silent tears come spilling down; They threaten to leave you bare. They conjure up a hurt so real… Does anyone really care?
It seems only yesterday- That horrible unforgettable night.
But after nearly two years; How do I stay in the fight?
