“Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
“Relieve the troubles of my heart,
and bring me out of my distress.”
Psalm 25:16-17
when others show me
their backs and walk away,
you run to embrace me.
when i sit alone as
my cup of tea grows cold,
you brew a fresh pot
and sit in silence with me.
when my heart cracks
from the pressures of life,
you craft stained glass
windows for your hope
to shine to others.
when i have fallen into
the deep pit of agony,
you reach in and pull
me up into your peace.
