why hast thou departed hence,
leaving me alone to bear the burdens of this life
in quiet solitude?
Doth thou wander now
among the throngs of spirits lost?
Perhaps thou art seeking me even as I seek in
desperation for thee.
Not only for
the gentle strength of thy
supporting presence, but for the value which
comes with thee, to me.
Swallowing my
weakness, fears, and pain
I dare journey through dark places til we meet
again and I beg
for thee to stay.
Again to whisper in my ear that
I am so much more than the masses fault me
to believe.
Exhausted
after many days of unfruitful
seeking. I rear my head and cry out to thee.
Please! Why?
In earnest
I have sought for thee
and never hath my trials seemed so great
and I needed
Thee.
A voice, a
breath upon mine ear.
Here I still reside in thee, and hath witnessed
all thy trembling.
For I knew
that I alone could not
support thee through thy life. These trials I
did allow thee
to face alone,
though heavily it weighed upon
my heart to witness thy pain these days. 'twas
for thy good.
No more tears.
For I am here and thou
art stronger than if I had held thy hand or simply
carried thee.
Now let us
face the world together,
with eyes radiating strength and experience that
we may be
Teachers.
