Nothing hurts like being in acute pain
And seized by bouts of emotional ache
Inflicted by those we call family
Even those who were once friends
And each morning as you wake up
Reminiscent of the bitter punches of love
Sad thoughts deplete the little strength
Alas! You bury yourself in a pool of tears
Mourning the loss of great friendships
Extinguished by deep Infightings
Betrayals and deceptions
Envy and Jealousy

I met a man who I thought may be God
I loved your line “reminisent of the blows of love:” and I am on the trail… ty
on park bench in Glasgow
St George’s Square, many mansions there
It had been a day of trekking Edinburgh for Him,
and Him noticing I am not strong.
I am not like other people.
It makes me sad.
And glad at the same time, For instantly he soothed me:
St Andrew there, and the sun shone bright, as a son of this God sang ever so sweet, calming me ever further.
I wished he’d walked with me to Him, and introduced us, but I didn’t want to break His talented. Musical conversation, in front of the cross to the father
Who am I to deny him..
When I yearn for a Father’s guidance; and love, myself.
I just wish I’d been brave enough to peek,
but His Father sent me up the street.
Did it go well? It’s hard to tell,
he asked me to deny the Bible,
I just looked at Him,
no reply, Who I am to say to God?
your words are true, just not the noo: what am I to do?
A million dollars to be His daughter, a million for my faith?
I’m not for sale I’m H’ewers, I do love you too,
and I’d love to be pleasing
to bring Him into view
He is honest, fathful and true
you, and an Edenic country view just for hue?
I know you want to overflow gifts:
and in return do not spurn my desire,
to please your eyes with my tries,
you’re guiding knowledge
A bucket of porridge, for the beasts?
Honest, devoted, sacred priests?
All laughing, singing and dancing? Sometimes:
My language rhymes, it’s a sign of the times,
Hallelujah
I met the Lord, and he told me things of non-sense,
I was not swayed, more love is not for sale
I’m His
-No price tag
He can go ahead and brag
I’m just ever so glad He is walking back to that
burden on me heavy
Who and wit, and it didn’t fit
That I be a he,
And he set me free!
In their capable hands
The care of us
And I will stop and nurse my broken mind
Turning from unoffended to kind
But God rules
Don’t be fools like me
Denying His wish for gravity
I am not tagged, bagged, and on paper written
From now
It’s all new
Relearning who
I am
And who we are
Removing scar
And scare
And fear
It’s a deer, hobby I’ve got
I saw angels playing harp and recorder
Thank you God: can a non-hostile me now come into view
And return me to who I was
Before I got lost
It’s clear, you’ll not hear me say
You’re answer does not hold sway
What’s a girl to do?
Look up and to the left
Bereft
Down to the ground
Under my feet
Street
Shakes his quakes
Aiming always higher sister, mister
Where are you
And he answered my prayer
Fear, na no me
It’s just starting to make me
Shake my head
Anger leads to dread
Schisms breaks and remakes
What’s real and what’s fakes
He was there, and H counted my grey hairs
They say I’m 59
I say ok, then I’ll be fine
Dermal cells smells like whiff
Yip : generic genetic and obscalece
Prove it then move it
Aye: all a lie
Written in His eye
I had to try
I hugged Him
Mr monkey war
Didn’t roar
Score: flock of doves
Carrying messages of forgiveness and love
Mercy mild
Happy child
Not afraid
Not degrade
Make ill and spill
Trip and shake
I am real
And you can’t help but feel
The spirit move through me
Empty vessel I try to wrestle
Asking politely first
He is a lovely man
And I was told the opposite
Surprised?
I should not be
But what a misery
I’m glad he is nice, I knew he was
Of course
In my heart of hearts
He cared for me
And I Him
Mr deep NY swim
No more future grim?
In his values, pisces
I will swim
And hope for better days
His ways so kind
Soothing mind
But not for all the tea in China,
my faith is not for sale
: But thank you
It would have instigated the garden
pardon me
It would have further upset me
If you’d negated
What was in my bag
And I did not want to shout at you Oh’ Who.
I sat in silence
You understood
I believed not a word you said
How could I call you Father?
If you spoke not the truth
And led me not by hand to your son to say hello
And told me all
My confusion away
So many questions
For so many days
Led by Jesus…

Ironically, our best friends and our worst enemies are the people of our households. Widely supported by The Book, other books, philosophies, principles and much more. A lovely poem full of witty words!
