A Shoulder To Cry On

Loneliness is one of the greatest afflictions;
living in the shadows of life;
tho seemingly unburdened by life’s restrictions;
devoid of a friend; lover; or wife.

Everyone has need of someone to rely on;
no life can be lived, completely alone;
everyone, needs someone’s shoulder to cry on;
and a safe place; described as home.

Sometimes we believe we are self sufficient;
we can do it all; on our own;
till loneliness requires we seek omniscince;
all wisdom comes from God, alone.

There is a reason for the Master’s creation;
in the beginning; there was God, only;
a partner was required for love’s foundation;
perhaps God was the first to be lonely.

As babies we had both a father and mother;
and even that was barely enough;
many sometimes had either a sister or brother;
growing up, without love, was tough.

Becoming adults; we went out on our own;
searching for a love to share;
for a season we had God’s strength, on loan;
while seeking a partner to care.

Now I‘m old; and lost the loves of my life;
with no one to love me and care;
eventually, in death, I will return to the light;
finding all of my loves, still there.
