‘Suffering is Personal’

 Suffering is Personal
  
 to cry is to water seeds
 hunger is to know how to feed
 –those in need
 those accustomed
to being the weed
  
 to the Word I shall heed
 no matter the cost–
 no matter how much I bleed
 it is written
 it is my forever creed
 –my vow, my chosen deed
  
 all this hope I shall mead
 I will adhere to what I believe
 good...I will constantly conceive
 open all that I am
 for what I'm to receive
  
 if I stand strong–
 I can always be naïve
 wear my heart on my sleeve
 allow others...me...to deceive
 allow others
me...walk away...leave
 I'll never
in negative...weave
 their meddling notion
in unbelief
  
 I'm His† child...this vine
 forever grows through weeds
 forever planting hope's seed
 forever holding strong–
 my intentions
 in all I believe
 for all creation:
the sun, the mountains
the animals, the sea
 the entire Earth...everything
 that my eyes see
 even this air that I breathe
 comes from the one and only 'He†'!
  
 I'm His† child
open to all
 there is to see
 moved by what is unseen
 what is to be
 what is already deemed
 all in the hope for souls
 to be redeemed
 –picked...one by one
those taken for weeds
 but have been already chosen–
 for the light...deemed
