HURTING SO

LORD,

I KNOW YOU KNOW

HOW MUCH I MISS HER.

BUT THIS MORNING IT'S WORSE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM TO CONTINUE

ON THIS COURSE.

I KNOW YOUR HEART WAS BROKEN TOO,
TORN ASUNDER
INTO TWO,

SO YOU UNDERSTAND

WHEN I FEEL THAT I CAN'T FOLLOW THROUGH.

BUT I WILL PICK MYSELF UP

BY MY BOOTSTRAPS AS MY MOTHER SAYS

AND FIGHT THIS FIGHT,

LOVE THE UNLOVED,

COMFORT THE SAD.

LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY ANSWER

TO THEIR BLEEDING HEARTS

AND THAT THEY ARE A MEMBER

OF A MUCH LARGER FAMILY.

AND, PLEASE, JESUS,

FORGIVE ME

FOR MY UNBELIEF.
