The need to cry, God knows

Looking back will often bring
the hurting out again,
as all alone we must relive
the places we have been.
-
Tears will come that can't be helped
from somewhere deep inside
and for a moment they will bare
what we thought we could hide.
-
That which had so satisfied
no longer has control
and what we thought could never be
now overwhelmes the soul.
-
God in all His loveliness
has taken simple tears
and washed away that part of us
we've held onto for years.
-
Looking back will often bring
the hurting out again,
but we are now assured He knows
the places we have been.
