IN THE MIDST OF MY MOURNING ~~~ THERE IS HOPE

IN THE MIDST OF MY MOURNING

~ There is HOPE ~

In the midst of my mourning

You come ~ quietly

To my inner world of

Stillness ~ you know

All of me--more than I’ll

Ever know & You understand my

Painful journey ~ the unrequited desires

The unleashed potentials,

The deep sadness & yet…

Ever the hope that swells within me.

Then I look on Your loving,

Welcoming Face

And sigh a sigh of love & inner calmness

And I remember…those who hope

In Your mercy will not be

Ashamed or disappointed.

Yes, in the midst of my mourning

You come ~ quietly

To soothe my weary soul

To lift my drooping head

To touch my aching heart

And You bring a fresh smile

To my face ~ for You,

In the midst of my mourning…

                                You bring me fresh HOPE.                     6-25-16
