I cried today

I cried today

To hope's dismay
My voice it shattered
As the reality gathered

'Do not be afraid'
He bade
'For love exists
Within the abyss'

'This love I have for you
Is so simply and true
Trust and you will see
You will find hope in me'

So I looked Him in the eye
And He listened to my cry
He held me in his arms
Told me I was safe from harms

I believed every word He said
And my pain instantly fled
He wiped away my tears
Gave me love in place of fears

Decisions

As the laundry bin spins
My mind intends
To find the perfect way

But in the jumbles
my heart, it stumbles
And thoughts are lead astray

Then it beeps
and out fall the heaps
of the wrinkled and worn

To put in the drawer
Or hang once more
But everything appears torn

I must decide
which to hide behind
and which to throw away

As the laundry bin spins
My mind intends
To find the perfect way
