Tears From The Sun
To ask for life to be easy
Is like asking for tears from the sun
To ask just to be happy
Is like asking for the moon
To ask for God to shine his light down
And caress your aching soul
To just fill that void of loneliness
To heal you and make you whole
With time no doubt he'll do it
In a life that's torn apart
You see I've hit rock bottom
And my world is cold and dark
I've felt as high as Mount Everest
And as low as hell might lay
I've cried those sad sad tears
As if I've drowned in the everglades
But my love has not yet ended
And filling that void has been a test
But I know that God still listens
He just hasn't confirmed it yet
For I have yet to feel the sun's precious tears
And God's beautiful light caress
Even though it has not happened
I know he has not failed me yet.
Is like asking for tears from the sun
To ask just to be happy
Is like asking for the moon
To ask for God to shine his light down
And caress your aching soul
To just fill that void of loneliness
To heal you and make you whole
With time no doubt he'll do it
In a life that's torn apart
You see I've hit rock bottom
And my world is cold and dark
I've felt as high as Mount Everest
And as low as hell might lay
I've cried those sad sad tears
As if I've drowned in the everglades
But my love has not yet ended
And filling that void has been a test
But I know that God still listens
He just hasn't confirmed it yet
For I have yet to feel the sun's precious tears
And God's beautiful light caress
Even though it has not happened
I know he has not failed me yet.

It is said that faith can move mountains - you have moved a few mountains with this declaration of your faith.

I can relate to this poem wholeheartedly. I love it. It captures the essence of heartache succinctly. Thank you for sharing your emotions.
I believe it's in Psalm 93 that God declares that our hope is not in the strength of the powerfulness of mighty horses! (but it's inferred that our hope should be in the ONE that created those horses!)
I especially like the line.... "To ask for life to be easy Is like asking for tears from the sun"
Just as it's obvious, that the sun will never shed tears for us, nor can we expect 'LIFE' to be easy... that was ruined back in the Garden of Eden... however... God DOES have a plan for us that is all about Redemption and Restoration of 'LIFE' that will satisfy the longing of our souls!!
Good write!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!
