Wednesday's Woe - Pulling the Strings of My Broken Heart…

Wednesday's Woe

Pulling the Strings of My Broken Heart…

My granddaughter hugged me yesterday

She wrapped me close in her arms

Just 18 months old, but so full of love,

So full of life with her smile that charms.

How can she love me, I ask myself,

So emptied am I by death?

There's no one here; I see my life up on a shelf:

And yet, her first hug takes away my breath...

What is this, the power of love,

That brings such tears from my eyes?

This little one lifts my eyes Above

To search for you in the skies…

A little girl that brings such laughter,

A heart of gold, tender words from her heart

Brings me glimpses of the Ever After

For this is a love only God could impart.

Such gifts of love, my granddaughter and you,

How does my heart contain such love?

Tender moments, like I had with you

Make me know again, our God IS Love!

Hold her close, dear God who draws near...

Hold my child when I cannot,

And hold close this little one who is here

Reminding me there's still life in this broken heart…

Tell me Lord,

How does such a little one

Know so deeply of Your love?

So little, yet so full of You…

Tiny, yet Your love shines through.

Our Father, though in Heaven, Thou art

Thankfully, pulling the strings of my broken heart.
