i wana quote the last stanza.

I was broken before
you opened the door.
I am healed from deep within
breathing glorious life again.

with this creation u have touched my heart, when you broken and someone comes along and fill that void, but sometimes even God can fill that brokenness.
Great poem Lisa

thank you so much for your kind comment. I deeply appreciate you dropping by

Hey Lisa

nice to read you here and to see all of reads and responses

of course you know I love the entire poem, but this stanza speaks to me:

" Inside the temple of my longing
I was drowning in uncharted waters
until I was mercifully rescued
by the grace of your savior hands. "

great poem...love ya

thanks so much Jay

I was broken before
you opened the door.
I am healed from within
and breathing life again.

I love your ability to convey our ability to overcome. In four short lines, you describe the entire spectrum of pain and suffering, recovery, and love and salvation. Well done. A superbly written poem that has a significant impact on the reader.
