If Ever You've Been There...You Get It

This poem was my first. It came to me while I was desperately praying for something profound to share with a friend. I'd already spent hours searching and finally dropped to my knees to seek divine inspiration. I was so intent on getting an answer, that I had paper and a pen ready. When the answer came I had to write fast to get it all down. It wasn't until I actually read what I'd written, that I realized it was a poem.

Don’t Forget How Much I Love You

I know how painful it must be;

I know the hurt you feel.

My sacrifice for you was hard;

Believe me, it was real.

I understand the tears you shed,

The aching in your heart.

I promised Father I would come

And fully do my part.

I know the weariness you know;

An angel held me up.

I pled with Father–was there a way

To please remove that cup.

I cannot count the tears I shed;

I bled from every pore.

I did it because I love YOU

And I will forever more.

I know you feel you can’t go on,

Your heart is torn to pieces.

But keep these words and my picture close

To remind you “I LOVE YOU” – Jesus
