Poetry
Swimming in a pool that I can’t touch bottom,
My legs are aching from the treading,
Lungs are filling with water,
I’m drowning in my own pity.
Pity keeps me from life,
And it robs me of my joy
Sympathy turns to empathy,
And I can’t feel anymore.
I long for the warmth of His Son,
To feel His arms around my callous heart,
For Him to make me feel again,
And His compassion for the world.
Take my stone cold heart, papa,
Grind into sand with your mercy,
Take the boulder of pity from me,
And place it in the devil shoes,
So, he can be the spectacle that I once was.
