Poetry

The following poems were written by Barbara Sessions.  Barbara is the executive director of Carenet in Demopolis  and is co-owner of Curves.

Despair of my soul tore at my heart,

I felt as if life were falling apart.

 

Festers of sorrow were too much to bear.

With expressions of grief, I called out in prayer.

 

“Why, oh why, is there so much strife?”

I agonized in this situation in life.

 

The gloom of the hour held me captive for time,

Until I consulted His Word divine.

 

Assurance came as I drank from His Brook.

Calming water was mine as I read in His Book.

 

Despair turned to praise, how my heart did rejoice.

Life is renewed as I chart a new course.

Grief

By Barbara Sessions

 

The grief of my soul is wearing me down.

Oh, for the joy that once did abound.

 

It’s not for me my heart doth despair,

But for those that I  love, please hear my prayer.

 

Lord strengthen my faith that I may endure.

Trusting you is The Way, of that I am sure.
