bobsgal Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 A poem I wrote early in my grieving, when confronted by those who thought that it was more than time enough to be over all this and be happy again. All those same people who at one time early on in my grief had said, "any time you need me, just holler, anything you need, if it is just a shoulder to cry on." Blessings, bobsgal (Lynda)I need your help, friend. I need to speak of my loss.I need to cry the tears of healing.You had said if there was anything,anything at all that I needed...Well, here I am friend, I need you.I am torn in half, my heart has been shredded.There is no bandage big enough to hold it all. I am so lost and confused, I need your help.Just listen, touch my hand, hold me.What was that? Oh, all right, yes I understand.You need to run right now.Call you if I need something? Oh sure, OK. I’ll let you know.I need your help, God.I need to speak of my loss.I need to cry the tears of healing.You had said if there was anything,anything at all that I needed…Well, here I am God, I need you. ©lab/'96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicki Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 I've not had anyone not want to listen, yet, nor tell me it's time to move on. I'm sure that will come though. Sometimes I tell myself that. Not very nice to me, am I? It's only been 13 weeks. At least now I'm not counting days and hours. It's a lovely poem, I envy the ability to put it into words.

hollybaby02 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 sometimes all I have is God to listen to my cries too. I can always cry on his shoulder when nobody else is around. I thank Him for that everyday.Tabbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorikelly Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 God is the best one to listen . he never tell us to shut up, move on or is tired of us. I know i lean on him alot. i always say he probably is laughing says oh boy here she goes again when i start talking. lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Perhaps, for some people, the reason prayer works is because God is mute and doesn't give advice or try to fix things. He just listens and lets you work it out for yourself.-- Anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janieb0828 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 That is the most beautiful poem, it is so true, only God above can hear our cring out, but if you really think about it, somewhere in that heavinly world I believe our loved one is there listening also. HOPEFULLY, I have cried to him so much!!!!!!!!!God rests their souls, we will be with them sooner or later!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
