Love Tears

Shirley A Mandel
I cried all night
for the love of Jesus
because He's been so kind to me.
He touched me softly
the day I was hurt,
and when I was sick enough
to fall off the world,
He gently held me up.
Now He holds me
deep in His arms
where He covers me with His hand
to protect my head
from the storms of care.

    Wonderful Shirley. With that title I expected sadness but you turned this into
    a beautiful flow of words about our Jesus and his comfort. Go Shirley!
