In the silent darkness <br />I sit and ponder Your plan <br />Where You are taking me <br />And where exactly I stand <br />I wonder about my future <br />And, I reminisce about my past <br />I think about the joys I've had <br />And how they didn't last <br />You are the One Strong Fortress <br />That I can count on through it all <br />My rock of my foundation of faith <br />That still stands so firm and tall <br />But, still I hurt and still I cry <br />I suffer through this life <br />It seems my pain will never end <br />And all I see is endless strife <br />So, Lord help me through <br />This bleak era of tears <br />Clear me of my anger <br />And hold me above my fears <br />Give me strength to find hope <br />And hope to find love <br />And let my light shine above all <br />Until I rise to You, above <br /> <br />((April 12th,2001))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/era-of-tears/
