"lonely tears" how many times has the world turned round since the first of mans tears fell to the ground how long has it been since hurt was first felt we cried out our agony on knee as we knelt face buried between thumb and forefinger of hand as our eyes flowed tears - a river in sand such are my thoughts as i sit and stare at the crumpled old man sitting just over there hair of grey and eyes so dim it made it hard to see the life within every wrinkle a line in his story of life each scar a chapter his times of strife still though he pulls pieces from his day old bread and tosses them outwards to these birds he keeps fed as somehow in their struggle he may see himself thinking of hard times and the cards he was delt what if he'd folded when the odds were so bad not taken that chance would he still look so sad or is it me that can't see the light can't look beyond my own life and plight like a prophet of old am i able to see that lonely old man is really just me keeping to myself so often feels right but maybe it's a lie when i lay alone at night how long can we fool even ourself in how we add up our treasures how we measure our wealth so maybe here there's a lesson to deem no matter how strong self sufficient we seem we can share love without speaking a word; like the old man, the bread... and the bird the simple outreach from one to another though we can be so different we're still sister or brother for no man is king of castle or master of home if at the end of day he's there all alone for so lonely is the trek of the tear from a man as it slides down his cheek to form the river in sand. theBrok 11 26 2005 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:6 |
![]() it's been a long time since i felt so happy and so alone at the same time as i did when my friend left from her visit to me at the hospital last week... thanks girlie. i had seven days to do a lot of reflecting of my life more or less alone the last six years. though it's what has to be for now, this time of year can be very lonely. Get up ... get out.. get a life... smile at someone... hug a tree if need be,,, just be.. and remember... God's love is sufficient for us all. Get closer to Him and feel the love of His touch.. A great source of hope can be found here Psalm 71 God Bless and smiles... me |
