Tear Catcher

Crying Lasts for the Night

Knees butchered by surgeon’s knife

three times crossed an unseen line

 

Years of torture strain the heart

persevering scars cover mine

 

This child ran and came in third

now slow steps etch searing pain

 

Seconds filled by silent screams

thunderstorm tears pound like rain

 

Scarred hands catch every tear

abide here ’til He comes again

    Heather your poem may be short, but it is powerful! There is so much in it; I had a very visceral response to it that I don’t have words for. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you Heather for sharing your pain and your humanness with us. Pain is real and so very difficult to live through. I can only begin to imagine what you go through. May your crown have the most jewels.
