Trusting Him

Lift Your Eyes Up

This is a poem, but it is a prayer for someone close to me. Someone who is hurting and doesn't even realize it yet...

*****

I look into your eyes

The eyes filled of pain

Filled of sorrow

You have been through so much

But I am here.

Why do you push me away?

I pray you will understand

I pray that the words spoken

Are not words meant

They are just simply words

Someone says when they get upset

You are not a "demon child"

You are so much more.

I wish you would understand

That you mean so much to me

You think you are alone

I see it in your eyes.

It kills me

How you think no one cares

I pray that you would have your eyes open

That you would see

How much you are worth.

I know the words cut deep,

For I had them spoken to me once before,

But, Love, don't you see?

Those words mean nothing.

All that matters is what our Heavenly Father thinks of us.

All that matters is that we simply listen to them,

For we are to respect them, as He has said.

Please, Love, stop fighting...

It only makes it worse.

I pray that you will be able to forgive,

For I know this struggle,

It wasn't too long ago that I was going through what you are now.

But you don't believe me.

I pray you will be able to hear me,

To listen to me,

And understand that I am always by your side,

And so is our Heavenly Father.

For if you where to open up,

Just let all of it go,

You would be set free...

I pray you will be able to forgive.

I pray you will be able to forget the words they have said, the words that have cut you so deep.

I pray you will be able to love again.

I pray you will be able to understand that I am here for you.

I pray you will be able to see you are not alone.

I pray you will be able to see how important you are.

I pray you will be able to see you where created for a purpose.

I pray you will be able to see that the struggle is not long, for He is always on our side.
