The Cross I Keep In My Heart

There were many times

when the world would let you down,

There were times when

you had the face problems

on your own,

And as a result you felt

the torture and the pain.

For those pains, I cried.

Going through the motions,  
facing all the struggles

Not knowing how to ask for help, 
not knowing where to run.

For those tears, I tried. 
Tried to offer my open arms

To hold and comfort you.

You learned to be free,

You learned to express

the inner you.

Not having any fear,

yet still shedding

some tears.

For those tears, I cried.

You have acknowledged

Jesus as your Lord

And have accepted what has

been put before you.

Don’t be yoked

with the world,

For you are no

longer in the world.

Don’t let your struggles hide

deep within you

For in time, it will hinder

your spiritual walk.

For he who cries, let him weep,

then encourage him.

He who tries, commend him

For at least he tried.

But never forget, HE who died,

For HE died for our sins.
