In the middle of the night

Jemima cries in the middle of the night
Cries all her pains away
Cries for parents fighting
Cries for the bruise that stays

Danny cries in the middle of the night
Cries cause she won't stay
Cries for the baby who had no fight
Cries away the day

Jesus calls in the middle of the night
Promises to stay
Cries by their side in the middle of the night
Cries saying its all gonna be ok

Lilly cries in the middle of the night
Cries for the little cuts that stay
Cries for her daddy who lost his fight
Cries for her mommy who drinks the day away

Jonny cries in the middle of the night
Cries all the fears away
Cries for kisses goodnight
Cries for a home today

Jesus calls in the middle of the night
Cries for their pain today
Cries for every fright
Cries saying trust my plan, just pray

Excellent writing. I haven't been back to this website in quite some time, and it's good to see that your poetry has kept to your skill, if not better, since I last read.

Fantastic poem! A lovely poem that shows your faith beautifully. I can relate this poem a fair bit. The lines flow really well and have an almost lyrical quality. I really enjoyed reading this, thank you.

Awesome Marie!. I really enjoyed this poem and the way It's presented. It seems like It shows Imo, that God does hear and answer prayers, just not the way we may think we need them best answered at that moment. We want Instant gratifications, and he gives us better, like Instilling patience, comforting grace, and even works as a faithful advocate at mercy, for how we long & long with him to meet his fulfilling wholesome peace, and feel justified. All these cries roll down like testi"moan"ial wills by the willing, as pitch as the midnight may present 'opelessness, we are given soundminds to don, and hide of clean. We wear momen"tearily" pains of reality, for his father-estate feeds us through the child moons, to grand-sun's glan'ced hope spoke In wepts, he levees by us our paid eternity, forking his plan with our every heart-wrenching, he readies the love upon our steady endurance. ;-)

Its a nice one. Yes the God is there but our fear and love for materialistic things acts as a barrier to feel Him.

[marie]

They can be a barrier, but only if you don't let God walk with you through the problems:)

[Prritiy]

yes true :)

[luviva]

AMEN.. TO THAT!!
I loved the way u set it out, presenting each and every one's cries and how Jesus calls upon them
All we have to do is pray for he listens and hears

[marie]
