Beyond

moments when what i'm feeling is so big, i wonder how i manage to breathe.when, the lonliness is so deep i could drown
my heart begins to race and my eyes burn with the unshed tears.
 oh, that i could close my heart and not know this pain
my life it seems is destined to teach me loss
i am strong, i can survive, i am here.
to love another against all self doubt; was a task i'd never thought to learn
my heart slows
tears run dry
the days and weeks continue
i would that my heart wasn't broken
but it is and still i am here
my Lord and my life is what moves me beyond
i can forgive, and with my faith i'll leave doubting behind.
