The hand that fate dealt me

Life is like a deck of cards. Fate is the dealer. I look at my stack of cards and wonder about a lot. Whatever the case, this is my lot and I must forge on to make the best of it. Sometimes it feels like I'm not trying hard enough. Is this my best....really? Or am I just too beaten to push?
I'm weak, weary and weathered. But there is a little voice inside, telling me I must go on. My work is not yet done. God has seen me to this crossroads, He will lead me the rest of the way. I have never travelled alone.
My prayers will give me strength, my tears will soften the path. I look up and smile. The dawn of a new day, a new era, a new life. I have my faith to keep me warm.

Loud Silence

I'm calling out to you
My lips are open, loaded with a message
A cry for help, a plea for direction
I scream in desperation
For you to hear....my loud silence

I look up to the night sky
My eyes heavy, praying for rain
For only when it comes can they freely
Commune with the stars, their secret safe
Shielded by the rain, blinded by the pain
Yet you can't see...my eyes wide shut

I lift my hands high up to Him
Fallen on my knees, humbled by my needs
All my resolve slowly fading fast
I hear my loud silence
I see my eyes wide shut
I hear my heartbeat ....it tells me it's time
I wait, holding my breath, I wait
Peace...it is coming soon...I wait
