ON SUFFERING

ON SUFFERING


I come to you Lord open and bleeding,
Raw with anguish, and once again you
Comfort me, You....my place of refuge
You understand, for you too have bled

And as I think of it now, I'm aware of the
Real drops of blood that you've shed, and
I admit that knowing this makes me feel
A little foolish, thinking that my bleeding

Could compare with your suffering....yet
You know that I'm human, as I know that
YOU are GOD.
