I am trading my sorrows <br />I am trading my shames <br />I am laying them down for Joy. <br />I am trading my Sickness <br />I am trading my Pain. <br /> <br />I am pressed but not abandoned, <br />stuck down but not destroyed. <br />The curse for your promise will endure. <br />That your Joys gonna be my Strength! <br /> <br />You lift the needly from the ashes <br />and seat them high the princes <br />you give the barren Woman healing <br />She'll dance for Joy like the Mother of Children.<br /><br />Mary Wismer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-bless-beyond-the-curse/
