A flower stands alone, full of beauty and strenth. A tree stands alone, reaching out it's limbs with it's many lengths. The sun shines alone, with it's brightness pouring down it's many drops of goodness. And yet I stand alone, full of fear and lonliness. Sometimes when I'm alone, I wish I could feel comfortable with it. That I could stand alone like the flowers, and the trees, and the sun, filled up with beauty, strength, and brightess. But I feel empty inside.
My arms reach out for something, but seem to touch nothing. I want that emptyness to disappear, and that feeling of fullfillment to appear. I wish I could walk alone, and shine, and feel that inner peace inside, Instead of sometimes feeling as if I'm dying inside. I know that something is missing, and what I know that is, is God!
Today more than anything, I know that I need God to come live inside my soul. I need that faith to depend on, for HIM to come and make me full. So i don't have to feel alone, and not have to fear..to be able to feel HIS presence, and know that He is near..and never again have to feel alone..Teri Larsen McShane..written 10/2/1974
