~

There was no time for my tears

At seven years old life changed

Relationships were shattered

Love bonds were broken

~

No one would explain

I guess no one had the words

Each lost in their own pain

~

Angels attended

There was comfort in silence

An unseen presence

~

Many hours to wonder

To feel the deep grief alone

To discover a secret

A love deep within my soul

And a hunger to know more

~

As I grew older

My desire to understand

Grew exponentially

A desire to know

What is this unseen presence

I was hungry to know more

~

Gladness and joy came

In the searching I could see

Love pursuing me

~

Sorrow and sighing

Experienced deep comfort

From the unseen God
