21. This Pain
This pain that I feel cuts through me like steel.
It's like an open wound that just won't heal.
They say that time is the key that turns the lock and sets you free,
But why, God? Why, is this happening to me?
This pain that I feel cuts through me like steel.
It's like an open wound that just won't heal.
They say that time is the key that turns the lock and sets you free,
But why, God? Why, is this happening to me?

Analysis of Form and Technique
God comes to us in quiet and simple ways.
He is there when the breeze rustles the palm fronds on a quiet, lazy, sunny afternoon.
When the raindrops softly patter on the thirsty tin roofs of the poor, he is there.
I have never seen God in this light. Thank you for showing me how easy it is to find God. I have been searching for Him all my life.

I do my very best each day
Though some days prove worse than others.
I'm everywhere I'm needed,
No need more crucial than another.
Our God supplies us everything we need.
When we need help, to Him we reach.
He is always with us when we are lonely.
He loves us so much and takes anger slowly.
Excellent poem. I love it. One of my favorites on Family Friend Poem website.
God is my Saviour
God is my friend.
God lights my way
Whenever darkness descends.
Chill and be still, my child, for I am God,
the Creator of all things, the Master upon high,
Lord of all Lords, King of all Kings.
With your faith in me I can change anything.
He gives me strength
when I have none,
on days when I'm weary
and can do nothing but weep.
You are the music. You are the song.
You are the words of truth and love.
You are the voice that speaks to our heart.
You are the music, the song of our heart.
Actually, there is music to this poem that was created in 2013.
in my weeping, He is still good
in my fear, He is still good
in my weariness, He is still good
in my pain, frustration, hurt, and shame
Glory to our loving Lord, who is a
Mighty God and a faithful friend.
His divine love for us is pure and perfect,
and His great mercy knows no end.
God created the Earth
to bring us all to life,
to share in the beauty
of this world, free from strife.
When night changes into day
we get a chance to start over again.
We can complete the things left undone
and reach back and make amends.
Silent love from God displays,
Stronger than turbulent waves.
Time after time the Israelites strayed,
Changed not God's love in any way.
Who is the one who loves us all
And never denys us when to him we call
Who never fails us through right or wrong
And picks us up when we might fall
The batteries of a flashlight
or a luminescent wristwatch
will die over time;
HIS light is immortal.
When the world comes crashing in
And chaos rules my mind,
I turn my heart to you, Lord
And pure, sweet peace I find.
A lovely poem, I only wish my faith was as strong as yours. Best wishes, Ann
