A BLACK CLOUD

In secret I cried
Couldn’t tell anyone no matter how hard I tried;
I walked the streets covered in a dark veil and shroud
Above Me, a black cloud;
I’d given up the most precious part of Me
A little one I will never know or see;
The opposite of a clown on stilts
I live everyday with the shame and the guilt
My legacy has been destroyed before it was ever built;
Tear after tear, after tear
Where do I go from here?
For forty years I kept this under wraps
Even though it was screaming inside my head in all caps!
Rachel’s Hope was My Saving Grace
My rescue haven and safe place;
As GOD has risen
This is a place You understand the meaning of being forgiven;
With a repeating heart
I am granted a new start;
The following morning I was no longer jaded
I felt rejuvenated;
With a clean slate
Now forgiven, life is great!
You ask, “How can that be?”
It’s through GOD’s Divine Mercy!

THE DEARLY DEPARTED

As we finish this day, All Souls Day, I am closing with a prayer.

We all have had family members that have lived a full life and some who may have left us at a young age. For whatever the circumstances of their departure, their Souls are in Heaven with the Father, The Master of the Universe.

When we think of our dearly departed, we feel sadness. Remembering the good times that we no longer will enjoy. I miss my earthly Father dearly. I was a “Daddy’s girl.” I am so grateful that I was able to spend the time I did with him. Lung Cancer is what took him away. I watched him suffer for nine months. I am sad that he is not here with me right now. Nonetheless, I am so very happy that he suffers no more.

All of you, my brothers and sisters around the globe might have similar stories. Be at peace knowing that our loved ones are where they are meant to be. Blessings to all.
