Waves
I'm drowning in the deepest sea
the waves are crashing over me
I am gasping frantically
it sucks me under, easily....
I know you cannot understand
but can you just reach out your hand
and pull me safely back to land
and sit with me till I can stand?
Please don't minimize my pain
and say my loss is heaven's gain
words wrap around me like a chain
and sink me to the depths again.
Hear the words I cannot say
or will you choose to walk away
you want me back to yesterday
you liked me then, but not this way.
This is not a comfy place
and I can see it in your face
my loss you cannot just erase
but you can be God's hands of grace.
I am going under deep
can you sit with me and weep
actions speak and words are cheap
by reaching out God's Word we keep. - Amanda Forrester
