The loneliness of my earthly being
Seeks comfort from my Heavenly Lord
Arms that once held a child
Have now turned to emptiness

Giggles that turned to laughter
Now gone far away
Emptiness settles at night
Where once laugher was

Chores once done with happiness
Now lay to be done
Silence fills the hearth

As dinner passes

Day is ended when darkness comes
Blue skies turned grey
Loom over my being
As I seek thy comfort Lord

Tobie, you have such a way with words like this. Your poetry is like my Bared Soul day in some ways, although spoken more eloquently. Thanks for sharing thru your poetry :)

Like Carolyn says I can identify with this poem also...Somedays we struggle so hard, other days are like "little miracles" to me and I so appreciate those rare days..

Hangd in there, your not alone..though sometimes I know it does feel like it..

I found your blog through Carolyn's blog.

Blessings,
Rhiannon
