THE SON (UPDATED)

THIS PAIN IS SO DISTURBINGLY

INTENSE.

CAN'T I PLEASE

JUST STAY

IN MY BED

AND NOT FACE TODAY.

GOD WILLING

THERE WILL BE OTHERS.

'PULL YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAPS'

SOME PEOPLE LECTURE ME.

I'M NOT FAKING IT,

IT REALLY HAPPENED,

AND, YES,

THE PAIN

IS THAT

INTENSE.

I DARE YOU

TO WALK IN MY SHOES,
SO TO SPEAK,
(DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME,
BUT MOST TIMES
I NEED TO USE A WHEELCHAIR.)

I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS

HURTING

TOO,

AND EVEN MORE

THAN ME.

THAT'S WHY I WRITE,

THAT'S WHY I SHARE
MY DEEPEST HURTS,
THE SCARS
THAT MAY NEVER
DISAPPEAR,

AND TO REMIND MYSELF

THAT I AM NOT ALONE,

AS I GAZE OUT
AND PRAY IN SUPPLICATION

TO THE ONE AND ONLY SON.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:7

FOR WE LIVE BY FAITH,

NOT BY SIGHT
