Beyond my smile...
BEYOND MY SMILEby Anne B. Parker
Look at me I look normal
As far as your eyes can see
But hidden beyond my smile
Chronic illness brings me to my knees
I go about my everyday
With a prayer upon my heart
And pray for everything I do
That this “brain fog” will depart
I ask Him for strength that I might cope
Then I pray for peace of mind
I search within my soul
For someone who is kind
When I lay down to rest at night
I pray He’ll help me sleep
Tuck me in and kiss my head
That I will not weep
With each new day comes the pain
Only my physical body knows
Fibro is no respecter of people
It latches on and there it grows
You can’t just share with anyone
They just don’t understand
Take it to the Lord in prayer
And He will help you stand
One day at a time is what you do
And rest whenever you need
Then if it goes undone
Tomorrow you’ll plant another seed
It’s not something easily dealt with
Nor are doctors easy to find
Sometimes they brush you off
Making you think you’ve lost your mind
But then life goes on and you keep trying
And send up another prayer
With tears you feel so broken
Like there’s no one to really care
You never give up for your strength is in God
Every step that you take, down each road you trod
Through the briars and brambles, the dark domain
God Almighty, He doth reign
There are those of us who identify
And know what it takes to get through
The power of God is awesome
And He’s there for me and you

And on this page is a powerful message...pertaining to yer blog...
"The trouble with lots of prayers is they ain’t got no suction." Drive your
prayers deep into your doubts, fears, inferiorities. Pray deep, big prayers that
have plenty of suction and you will come up with powerful and vital faith."
