My heart carries a heavy load, <br />How can it withstand <br />The awesome weight it has abode <br />All these years, a weight so grand? <br /> <br />No, it is not a weight of depression, <br />Nor is it a weight of loneliness. <br />This is my glad confession, <br />That this weight gives me true happiness. <br /> <br />This weight is known as love, <br />Love for my friends and family. <br />Those that have been sent from above, <br />Each and every one means a great deal to me. <br /> <br />So much love that I have in my heart, <br />It's surprising that it doesn't sink down to my feet <br />And inhibit me as I get a walking start. <br />So much love, I get to feeling nice and neat. <br /> <br />Love, more precious than silver and gold, <br />Brighter than the noon-day sun, <br />Much too amazing too behold, <br />As for describing it, I haven't even begun. <br /> <br />I thank the Lord God for adoption, <br />I was chosen by a very special family. <br />I am so glad that my birth mother chose that option, <br />So I could be with those who love me. <br /> <br />Bless the Lord, oh my soul, <br />Bless the Lord indeed. <br />Bless the Lord, oh my soul, <br />He provides me with all that I need. <br />Although there are times that I am careless with money, <br />And thoughtless in my sin, <br />To my heart He brings love sweeter than honey, <br />And blessings abound therein. <br /> <br />Love truly, truly Love<br /><br />Greg Oosterhouse<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-carries-a-heavy-load/
