Healing

---

At the edge of a precipice
trying to stand tall
hanging on so tightly
terrified to fall.

She stands there looking lonely
longing so for someone near
for all she knows has gone away
all has changed she once held dear.

Tears are streaming down her face
desperations in her eyes
her hands reach out to brace herself
against satans evil lies.

She's frantic to go back somehow
to find that place of rest
despite the hurt and constant change
Abba Daddy knows her best.

She reaches out for help again
to travel that rough road
that leads her where she needs to be
despite the heavy load.

Put your hand upon her shoulder
Let her heart look into yours
You just might learn to love her
God might open friendships door.

She's fallen off the precipice
shattered dreams not quite despair
she's bleeding out onto the rock
her aching heart laid bare.

She dares not cry out loud for help
for fear of passers by
not wanting those who come to look
to stand and watch her cry.

The desperation in her eyes
intense tho it may be
hides dreams she does not know she has
masks hopes she dare not see.

She longs for help to come her way
yet hides herself from sight
unaware her biggest fears are there
masquerading in the night.

Afraid to be a burden
to those she knows do care
she's rather take it on herself
her weary load to bear.

So she lays there in the darkness
broken, bleeding from within
wondering just when she'd find healing
how this battle she could win.

Reaching out to Abba Daddy
She finds rest within His arms
For tonight she'll think of nothing
but that she's free from all alarms.
