Please Hear Me

by EnduranceInHope

A poem I wrote based off my own experiences this past year. Not really based of Scripture but has some faith themes. First poem posted and first time posting to Bible category. Please Review. Blessings!

Please Hear Me

We walk together,

along a street;

a parking lot;

a hiking path.

Sometimes silent,

sometimes laughing,

the words fly back and forth;

as we talk about nothing.

I wait for you

to get at what is really bothering you.

Eventually, you get there.

I listen,

all the way through.

Sometimes shocked;

I had no idea.

My heart breaks;

You feel unloved.

I get angry and you're frustrated.

We part without words.

That hurts.

I was searching….

for the right words to say,

reaching for something to sooth your soul.

Sometimes I get it right…

Other times I don't.

I might seem hypocritical.

But that's only because

I'm learning right along with you.

Please hear me,

Whether in words or actions.

I hear you.

I do!

I can't pretend

to know just what you are enduring.

But your words;

The look on your face;

The sound of your voice;

That fake smile;

They tell me everything.

Because I do the same thing.

It's going to be ok,

I'm praying for you,

I'm here for you,

I love you.

You might not want to hear it;

But please hear me.

For your sake,

Please hear me.
