By Your Side

Another poem by one of my high school students

By Your Side  

It hurts to know your hurting,

Cause you’re so special in my heart.

The pain that you are feeling,

Is tearing me apart.

 

But know that love has a way,

Of hearing all that’s wrong.

Together we can make it,

If we hold on and just be strong.

 

Know that you’re not alone,

In all your difficulty.

For by your side through and through,

Is where I’ll be!

A Tear Fell Today

A high school student attending my Contemplative Spirituality classes at our local church has been showing me the poems she’s written over the last year.  This is a result of the class teaching teaching teenagers to journal their thoughts and prayers on a fairly regular basis.  She’s written many.  I happen to think she’s been doing a wonderful job with taking time to be still and write.  She’s given me permission to post her writings.  This will be the first of many…I hope!

A Tear Fell Today
I shed a tear today
Silently, I felt it fall
You caught it, shared it, held it, felt it,
Then suddenly, it wasn’t so big after all!
