Penny's Birthday Poem by Patricia Joan Polhans Today's my sister's birthday, How I have missed her so. Oh, if only she could even Understand and know. So many years are wasting, So many days are spent Out of anger 'n' unforgiveness, Many disappointments. She's no longer in my life, Empty space where she once was For she is there no more, The sister that I've loved. I have made every effort To reconcile with her But she still rejects my love In my heart she causes a stir. Oft times I have anger That she'd even allow this, Division in our family, For she is my only sis'. How I long to see the twinkle In her dark brown eyes. See her laugh and smile again But I know she only cries. I guess that she can only see The pain in her own heart For never has she looked into My own aching heart! She did not even take The time to get to know The sister that I am inside The sister she's never known! Oft' times I put on the face Of a strong, resilient tower Never letting her know This kind, gentle flower. If she only knew why I put on this hardened mask It's my defense for the pain Shield 'gainst my abusive past. The task set out for loving Her unconditionally Makes me feel vulnerable To her insensitivities. Accusations and judgments, And preconceived notions That cause me to close my heart For I'm overwhelmed by emotions. For oft' times my heart gets broken With only God making the repair. Some things cannot be mended But by tender loving care. If only she would take the time And allow words from my heart She would see a different me And we would never ever part! But I've not been able to share With her my secret parts For each time that I try She breaks my wounded heart! Maybe God in his infinite wisdom Will perform this task for me And some day set the record straight Fill her with forgiveness and mercy. Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. |
