Learning to Trust

For many years I tried,

   To show my strength to others,

Not wanting a tear to shed,

   Not letting in, sisters or brothers.



Any sign of weakness in me,

   Was not a thing to show.

How fearful and sad I was,

   I wanted no one to know.



Could I show God's abiding love,

   If they saw my broken heart?

What would they think of me?

   If I showed I was falling apart?



Learning now, to open my life,

   Reaching out to for help when I hurt,

There is so much down deep inside,

   Will I find gold inside the dirt?



Letting God comfort me through friends,

   Trust my heart in their hands,

Trusting God to protect my life,

   Knowing in His palms I will land!
