Not a Picture this Time, a Poem Instead.

I do love pictures, but sometimes words can paint a picture of thoughts and emotions better than any photo can portray.  That being said, I'm going to break from my usual posting of pictures and share a poem that I wrote this evening.

From Darkness Into His Light

In the dark of night,

A tear slides down her cheek.

She is all alone,

The pain is making her weak.

What a difference,

From the girl who used to be,

To the women now before you,

Because Christ has set her free.

From hiding in the shadows,

To standing in the light,

Fearful, broken, and frightened,

But God cut through her night.

She used to be the quiet one,

Locked within herself,

But now she is forgiven,

Abiding in Christ's wealth.

In the shining sunlight,

She lifts her face to the sky,

Safe within the Father's arms,

She knows with Him, she'll fly.
