that emotion



You go to the well
Too many times
And find it dry
The meaning of this meditation.

My friend
A friend in Jesus
Doesn't make you mine.

Not even close
Not by a mile.

Offer Him your love
Water, refreshment.

What does He say?

If you only had ears to hear
And eyes to see.

Maybe a miracle
Will occur.

Anything is possible
Just about anything.

I've been to the well.

You remain deaf
You remain blind.

Read these words
And weep.

Sorrow follows
With quiet footsteps
On your heels, on mine.

Anne, this is a moving piece. There is the quiet inner comfort that comes through your words which are the reflection of the peace of the Savior. Kathy
