Have You Ever?



Have you ever
had to lay
in bed
and count the cottage
cheese on your bedroom ceiling?

Your body
racked
in pain
and you prayed
to die, to be free
from this
horrible feeling?

I was an observer
in pain
and also a participant.

As I talked to God
telling Him,
Lord I just
can't do this anymore,
I can't.

Have you
ever taken a
shower and all
your energy you did spend?

And just sat down
and cried in sorrow, wishing
energy is something, one could lend?

Did you ever
hear, from your
boss, do not come back
to work until your doctor releases you?

Leaving my job
that day,
I was
in a panic, I sat
on the steps weeping
into my hands too.

Did you ever
feel and watch,
your hands, as a
disease crippled them
beyond use?

The pain
in the process
was debilitating
and I wanted to call
a truce.

I am one
who was told
twenty years
before
I would write
a book.

Looking at
my hands now,
what will I do?
sobbing
between my words,
to God,
as I shook.

Psalm 103:1-5 NKJV
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Isaiah 26:3 NKJV
You will keep
him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name
shall the Sun of righteousness arise
with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
