Proverbs 31:8-9

My Savior
Today at 8:05pm

I don't want the world to see me
I know they won't understand
There is a child trapped deep inside me
torn and battered, left to die
I spend all my time hiding my secrets
afraid for the world to see
the ugliness that is me
unloved and unwanted
they turn away when they see the true me.
I seek to escape this world I live in,
the life that lies in ruins around me.
The memories that tear at my heart and soul.
The tears that fall unnoticed,scorching everything they touch.
I seek my salvation
from the man who sees all
the lonely child inside the woman,
the beauty the world tried to destroy.
When I look in His eyes
Hope survives, I see the love so longed denied me.
He is the one true being
to bring possibility to a forsaken life.
I seek my healing there
in the arms of my Savior,
I find comfort and solace there.
Will I find release,
from all my fears and failings?
I find forgiveness
in the arms of my savior
I find comfort there
unending love and acceptance
He gave his life and love
so that I might know the same.
In the arms of my savior
I will find my comfort there
In the arms of my Savior
where my tears and anguish fade
In the arms of my Savior
Where my Life begins again. Marilynn F Clinton 08/12/09
