Remembrance

Remembrance

I awake some mornings with a sense

Of loneliness, even sadness, unexplained;

When thoughts of my Lord suddenly appear…

And how, never once, He complained

Of the loneliness He was called on to bear,

But faced His days bravely and unafraid

Of being rejected one more time, and yet

His love for others seemed not to fade.

My sadness then suddenly disappears,

As these comforting words are brought

To remembrance even thru my tears;

At times when I had so often sought

For a better life than this world offers;

A world that cannot possibly understand:

“I will never leave thee nor forsake thee”

He says to me..with outstretched hand.

And so I take His hand that’s offered

In love , knowing He understands and cares;

And on days when these feelings arise

I have the assurance that He will be there.

To speak to me, gently, as the wind blows;

As a father speaks to his hurting child.

Making the hurt and the pain disappear

Until with Him I am once again reconciled.
