in depth look at poem: This poem was written simply to communicate the fact that God loves us and understands how we feel. This poem was featured on this page when it was created. I took it off on 2/10/97.


Jesus' cry

I can feel the pain that invades your life
I can love you when you have no friend
I can take away all of your strife.
but unlike others, my love will never end.
I understand what you're going through
I understand why you begin to cry
I understand when you want to die
because other people won't accept you.
but you won't let me into your heart
you won't let me heal your shattered dreams.
you won't even let me start
to sow you up at the seams.
I'm asking you once again,
why won't your let me in?
