in depth look at poem: I just wrote this poem. Kind of like an artist's doodles.


in the arms of Jesus

feeling the sorrow in your eyes,
I know how you cry and how you
ache and are dying inside.
I know how you feel, I was there before.
but, now I've changed,
I've been adopted by the king,
by the one who calms my fears,
the one who dries all of my tears.
I know it's hard enduring these troubles,
you feel like everything is caving in.
but it doesn't have to be that way,
because you can find peace
in the arms of Jesus.
