Tears No Longer
by louis gander Behind the doors of many homes, no matter where you go - a multitude of people weep. Their tears forever flow... I sat behind my mommy in the back seat of our car. My daddy did the driving, but we didn't get too far. My mom and I were talking, and we were smiling wide, but someone ran the traffic light and hit us hard broad-side. The truck came out of nowhere - the driver, DUI. And buckled in her seat belt, mom had watched my daddy die. I woke up in a hospital - in pain for several days. Our fragile world turned up-side-down in many, many ways... "Jesus, heal my broken heart. I feel emotion's tug, whenever mommy holds me tight and gives me daddy's hug. Embraced below Your sunsets through visions of the wreck - I know my mom is crying too. Her tears run down my neck. She says we'll be in Heaven there. It is her only prayer. Daddy, mother, also I - are in Your precious care. Though she forgives the driver - forget? She never will. And though the years are passing by, our tears are flowing still. But please forgive me Jesus - I can't get on my knees. Fun and laughter, drugs and beer is all the world sees. Is several years of crying worth some stranger's day of fun? "They know not what they do" You said. Our tears forever run. You hear all my petitions My deepest thoughts I share. Your great omniscient presence surrounds my wheel chair. And I am not discouraged. Through faith in You, I know - in Heaven, we'll be together - where tears no longer flow." Copyright 2021 by louis gander. Poetry for sermons, story poems and more...
