Love restraineth not
but embraces the loved
in ebullient outpouring of affirmation
the one who is loved rises strong in our mind
as that presence who is a blessing
then he has to open his heart
to recognition
pain is fleeting
life is fantastically rich
while the mass of humanity
surrounding each of us who cares
is crying out for one who will survive
to BE a living sacrifice for others
because in pouring selflessly from our well
of spiritual waters
we heal from within
since the balm we would pour out
upon others who hurt
will always
ever
without ceasing
bring healing to our own hurting soul.
I had to learn this and internalize it
then experience and express it bountifully
through which my heart was forever sealed
unto God as a vessel for helping others.
I, who would destroy myself
to bring eternal end to my temporary pain
had to be shown deep within
the pain will ebb
and the fantastic
JOY which wells up
surpasses all pain I had ever felt
within my psyche.
In my family
the husband to a darling niece
would not hear
and is now absent.
If only to open the heart and mind and ears of your son
God will inspire recognition
maybe, just maybe, your son may rejoice
I have
it was not easy at first
but then the road which is hardest
and has the most twists
obstacles
holes
boulders to circumnavigate
presents the greater treasure
in finding its object
had the road been too easy
I might not have realized
its importance
Glory to God for making it just difficult enough
so
I
would
yield.

Thus I pray for you and your son,
Amen,
Mark56
