Rah Times

I searched for a flight I had taken Was extremely confused, somehow I did not earn points for my trip. I wondered why the carrier Did not have a history of it. As I kept on looking I uncovered the answer. I did take that flight But not with the airline With whom I was seeking credit. It was with another One that I did not have frequent flier membership.

When is a City too old to produce children? When can it sprout wings and fly to the heavens. When does it ever relocate itself for a period? Which City has ever came down from the skies? When was that City attacked by high waters? Which of the others powers existed before it? The answer is Jerusalem the lovely woman, Not the literal ancient place.

Believe in me as I believed in you, Then you will have life Like a fountain has water springing forth From with in you. I will be there for you in your time of trouble, I will carry you And be a close friend to you.

As prophecies unfolds, Before their blinded eyes The scales remain plastered in place. Absolutely unaware, life continues. What a shameful disgrace! Jerusalem lacks shelter or a home, Among those she resides with. Her husband stands proudly along side Supporting and caring for another. Her children lie buried in her ruins. Shaken to her precise foundation. Who would endorse or could restore her, Stand up, advocate to correct her suffering? The core of her condition is like crystal, As blazing as the sun light, yet transparent. To return to slavery is her only option. She picks up the rattling chains that binds her. Her hope is that day light would appear again. Longs to be free of the darkness that Had over taken and destroyed her children.

I packed and unpacked my bags Hoping to find some peace I cried for all the countless things I will and have lost Knowing I have to leave. For my daughter sake, I stayed For my son, I kept holding on. Then I was suddenly awaken By the grips of a very cold hands. I knew I had lost and was forsaken And would return to whom I started from. In the morning, I will repeat my actions. Pray that I might find a job That life in the future will not be as difficult As it has been for the last fifty years. I depart once again, on my own.

Hold on! When it seems you cannot go on, Hold on! If everyone chose to let you down, Hold on. If there's not anything to sing about, And your heart is filled with doubt When you are facing some serious issues And love ones refuse to assist you, Hold on! When there is nothing but confusion, And you don't know what to do, And no one offers a solution if your heart is filled with reservation. Hold on, When all have failed and disappointed you, Know that I've walked your path too, For the world may not know, but I do . hold on, hold on, I'm telling you to! I long to support you, To say and do what you need me to, I promise you if nothing else is true, I will always love and care for you. So hold on, hold on, I'm here for you!

My lovely husband, take my hand. Only you can understand. Walk along side me. Take me to a quiet place. I am weary and wish to rest. Sustain what attracted you to me. Resurrect my beauty. It was you, I cried out to. I needed your strength. Be the man, I envisioned. Honor and respect me I need to be reassured. Safe from malicious people. Anchored and held by love, That I may find contentment, That is all I ask of you.

I am not going to take risks. Not if it would cause you pain. I'd rather live with out you Than humiliating or victimizing you. I knew the lovely you. I have seen your beauty. If anyone say or believe differently They don't know you. I am not going to take chances Not with a lovely woman like you. I rather live without you. Than for anyone to blame on you.

My significant mile stone I anticipate it, yet my face's drenched lathered with tears and sorrow. My promise of a joyous tomorrow. trampled on by mountainous burdens. I long to be at home, to get a weft of peace. Not to for my feet to be planted In the City where my distress lives. For the hater of me to be removed. I'm imprisoned from believing Trusting, the one I chose to call on. My greatest accomplishment is knowing My knowledge has awaken me. Ignorance and lack of support defeated but will not destroy me. I'm going to where I was loved I'll be cradles and held again, my fragmented heart will be pieced together. My sprit and broken promises and wishes will be revived, wish I didn't have to walk alone, was insulated from all my afflictions.

I want to see your face again, To reassure you, that I'm your friend my love for you is unchanged. I want to tell all, I should have said. I want to be with you once again. To hold your hand, be reminded Of all the reason I loved you And wanted you as my friend. I want to start all over again. For us to no longer be separated. For all that came between us To be swept up by the wind, for I want to be with you.

Convinced you wrote about me? Apparently you never loved me. Hardheartedly as you turned away, Revealed that you never cared about me. Life got worse after you lashed out at me. More like a thug you appeared to be. I remembered your every spoken word. I live daily with the effect they had on me. Indifferently you continued on your way, As though, you are a righteous person. I know the man you are today, You crushed and threw the broken reed away.

Who placed those babes upon me? Why did their lives generate within me? If they were not of me, Why did I decide to give birth to them? I saw the doctor holding a newborn baby. Must not have been my child. For, I do not know who handed mine to me. Day and night it plague my mind. For I need to make an important decision. Whether to keep the possibility of reproducing. Or put an end to it for the benefit of my health. But now, I cannot seem to shut my children out. Had I not seen them perhaps so, but I did. My sight makes it virtually impossible for me To put my welbeing ahead of them. Yet, their embryos are not yet implanted. With every passing day the possibility diminishes.

A frail frame of a girl Body rail thin from malnutrition. As though life was not a gift, Created not from love but a myth, She inhabited a temporary prison. Professed to love her Father. The who should have provided for her. Yet as, she stood up alone She professed allegiance to him. Not knowing his intentions. She trusted and had confidence in him Until she realized after the passing of time. She has long been forsaken.

I looked up and saw your face. I was struggling within myself. Wishing I was not whom I am. I was sorely disappointed With the person, I became. I needed someone like you Not to rescue but walk with me. I was tired of being on my own. Certain, that I did not want to go on, But had finally reached my destination. I hoped to savor every precious moment I thought I would have had with you. Believing that you would stay And physically keep my company, Be my friend and partner for all eternity. Seem as though I was horribly mistaken, About that and numerous other things. For not only did your face vanish, So did the reality of who I thought you were. Never were you a friend to me And here I am still alone, and you are gone.
