Held (A Poem by Katie Best)

HELD

The emptiness it consumes me
I try and fight it but I just can’t win.
I reach out for something, anything to fill me
But all I gain
Is more grief more pain more confusion
Then through the gloom and the shadows
I see something, someone reaching out for me.
And I hear him saying
Come to mc.
I will fill you, I have been with you
When you were in pain
When your grieving and
Even when you were confused.
Watching
Waiting for you to call for me
All the time calling for you
But you couldn’t hear me.
I wanted to hold you,
I wanted to heal you.
But you won’t let me
Lord. Lord I cry as I run into his arms
And just as he said he would he did
He held me
He rescued me
When I thought that nothing could.
When it seemed so hopeless,
He gave me hope
He gave me the one thing I needed to be filled with
Not money, not attention,
He filled me with something not of this world
He filled me with his love, his peace and his never ending grace.
And he said he will always be by my side
Holding me, in his arms of protection
And I have faith that he will do just that.
