What a mom should know when a child cries…

Wow, I wish I would have had these words when my guy was a little!

Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. This poem is a great reminder of what we can do when we feel we can’t do anything to stop the crying.




​

It’s another Monday
and as the coffee maker beeps
a child screams
and you can't find peace
Or solidarity
In knowing what that little one needs
Because that child
He cannot speak

Words to him
Mean nothing
Other than something
his brain is becoming
 
So without words
His emotions cannot be defined
But they still deserve
To be held and given time
 
Who are we to reprimand
Or recompense
A child for his thoughts
When he simply feels lost
 
And like sheep we have all gone astray
The Good Shepherd holding us
Day by day
Showing us that this is the way
 
No matter our age
No matter our thoughts
When words become lost
We all feel like a wave
Violently tossed
 
So we get down on our knees
And fall on our face
Prostrate
and pray
Lord, take me away
 
Take me away from this pain I cannot define
From the time I have lost
Feeling nothing but grime
 
The dirt of my soul
Beginning to show
And not even my tears
Can wash away this hollow
 
Feeling of being empty
Being nothing
Lord, I need Your energy
 
I need Your loving
Spirit to fill me up
Because right now
I am not enough
 
And this I do deserve
But I still cry
I still wait
 
I will endure every step
Every inch of the nail’s
Piercing sting of pain
 
Because that is what You did for us
When we deserved nothing but to be given up
You still showed up
 
And You show us every day
That there is a light
There is a way
 
Even when words feel far
You are our bright Morning Star
 
Our Alpha
The Omega
The Beginning
and The End
 
So, Lord, I simply pray
To cleanse me from my sins
 
To hear my crying out
My bouts of agonizing shouts
And let me out of this darkness
That has encompassed
 
Around me
Your light, Lord
Astounds me

-Abigail Rice
