I'll Take His Cup of Sorrow- a Poem
I sit in the quiet stillness
and listen to the music of my heart.
It's a sad strange melody
that I don't know when it had a start.
and listen to the music of my heart.
It's a sad strange melody
that I don't know when it had a start.
My friend has lost some family,
yet, he shrugs off any sign of pain.
So I will grieve in his place
letting tears fall gently as rain.
He is my brother in the Lord
though we've not met face to face.
However, friendship still grows
though he is in another place.
