If you want to hear the story
of this, the day that was
don’t expect to find a glory
or even a ‘because’.
The pain broke through all I had
and I was kneeling on the floor
with no time to be scared or sad
as I beheld death’s open door.
I lived and tried to pass the word
that though in extremis, I still am;
while they may have listened, darn few heard
and fewer gave a damn.
Perhaps I’ve something to atone;
thus, when I die, I’ll die alone.
Look for posts on a subject, Bible verse or quotation.
I KEEP IT SHORT & SIMPLE.
Why?
Almost half of American adults read below high school level. God looks at your heart, not your reading skills. Big faith can be built on simple words.

Rest assured, Andrew, you are not alone. We who hear and care are many, and our prayers wrap tightly around you.
Thank you so very, very much. It’s getting hard.
Andrew, I hear and I pray.
Molly, I am truly grateful.
