A faithful presence kept within, <br />Isn't in need of outside intervention. <br />Or someone to assess the depth of it. <br /> <br />A faithful presence kept within, <br />Has been tested through one's experiences. <br />And not a piece of it is scattered, <br />To allow judgemental critique... <br />Others unconsciously, <br />Enjoy to see another in defeat. <br /> <br />A faithful presence kept within, <br />Reflects a strength in battles against opposition. <br />With an emotional bleeding, <br />One may feel but does not show. <br /> <br />'You are not perfect. <br />I've known and have seen what you've done. <br />You have skeletons in your closet. <br />Just like everyone.' <br /> <br />~Those skeletons. <br />Were they behind door number one, two or three? <br />And while you were whispering behind my back... <br />There's not an aspect of my life, <br />Hidden from the eyes of God who keeps contact.~ <br /> <br />'I know you 'sin'.' <br /> <br />I never said I didn't <br />Or will not again. <br /> <br />A faithful presence kept within, <br />Isn't in need of outside intervention. <br />Or someone to assess the depth of it. <br />I am a work-in-progess. <br />And 'that' I don't pretend.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
