Touch - Poem

Touch
By BushMaid
~*~*~*~

 

 The depth of this ache, the pain in my soul;
A suffering wound; a dark bleeding hole.

Torturous anguish, pain swells in my heart;
An agony deep that tears me apart.

The pain I can see; I feel it inside -
Gut-wrenching longing I try hard to hide.

A dark void so deep, it blackens the night -
I yearn for the dawn of God's freeing Light.

I know I've a gift He's given to me;
To reach out and show them - help them to see.

My heart skips a beat, this feeling so strong;
This calling inside - how could it be wrong?

But for this distance, I'd jump up and go:
To act out His Will: for sure, then, I'd know.

For deep in my soul, believing so much -
I know things could change, if I only could touch...
~

And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; 
they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Mark 16:17-18

  5. Aw, this is so lovely Bushy. I can't wait to get out of school so I can read your stuff more.
    I was wondering, though, if you might teach me a bit about Australia. I have several chapters in a novel that happen completely in Australia and very likely I've messed it up. At least the accent :P Would you mind helping me with this?
