Tear Stained Remnants

by Maribeth

The storm had stopped
but the remnants continued to drop.
The tears stained my face
and I felt so out of place.

I found no solace for my anguish
and no way to extinguish.
Life just seemed to continue on without me
and there wasn't any light that I could see.

Hope was on the horizon
but the sun didn't seem to be rising.
I felt as if change wasn't possible
and as if I was the one responsible.

Where could I turn
before I ended up in an urn?
I started exploring any options and God above took over my heart
and gave me a brand new healthy start.

I no longer have to live in anguish and fear
because God's still voice I now can hear.
I'm now able to follow and listen without resisting.
Healing is now possible on this path
because I feel God's love and not His wrath!
