But Still, I Hope

By Natalie Shelley

So Much Pain

No one understands,

The hurt is so deep

This wasn’t the plan.

Sorrow and grief

Enter my soul,

I find myself wondering

Will I ever be whole?

In the night, when I wake

My heart is so heavy,

It races as my worries sting

Amid efforts to be steady.

How did I get here?

I’m so confused,

I want to be happy

But there’s much to lose.

But still, I hope.

I fall to my knees

And say I can’t cope,

He whispers softly to me,

That he knows.

He once again reassures

That hard is it may be,

Through the sorrow and the fear

He will never leave me.

So still, I hope.

The faith that one day

Things will change,

And through my patience

His plan will reign.

That He knows me

And my life’s plan,

He will guide me

To feel peace again.

And day after day

Though I feel so alone,

I have a friend in the one

Who for me atoned.

So, I trust Him

Though my path is unknown,

I lift my faith

Towards my Heavenly home.

And continue, in hope.
