"Out In The Cold"

"Out In The Cold"

How many years...have I wandered alone;

Having in me the need, of finding a home.

The emptiness I feel, inside my own chest;

Lord You know...it doesn't have to be...the best.

I am freezing out here...lost in the cold;

Walking down streets where, none go but the bold.

Seeking to find...some help to become whole,

Wandering around blind...no help for my soul.

Why did I land...in this temporary maze?

I feel that I am lost, in a dark grey haze.

Please, someone tell me, or show me how;

These strteets are so weary and lonely right now?

I am lost out in the cold, and I still wonder why;

I was left out in this world to wander and die?

By someone...was I thrown and cast away;

Now alone forever---is that where I will stay?

I really need...to come in out of the cold;

I've been here so long...I must be quite old.

Will I always be wandering, walking half blind;

Is there any possibility, of life of another kind?

Please God help me...I'm lost and ache in this cold;

Please give me Your Hand , I need Someone to hold.

Thank you John for reading my thoughts. Kathie

You are welcome my friend. I love your work.

a house is not a home when there is no warmth or love
no laughter dreams but to long a place where one's soul can dwell is a lonely place to be

[Valentine]

There are many homeless people across this world. Kathie

Valentine,
Cold and lost, a fitting feeling without a relationship with our Savior who brings warmth and belonging. You portrayed the lostness so well and showed the yearning for belonging by our very Maker and creator. Loved it.................Kathy

In the news they had homeless men walking the streets, eating from trash cans, yet now and then they would have a booze bottle in their hands. From down there the only place that seemed fruitful to look was UP. Kathie

What is there without belief in God? Emptiness. Good write, Kathie

[Valentine]

Thank you Ted, I agree, He is our only answer. Kathie

[Gee]

Like the poem but have never felt it necessary to seek out a reason for my being here and probably never will. Does this means no afterlife, an eternity in hell, who knows. What I do know is I have a great life, love life and have worked my balls off to come from nowt to where I now stand

[Valentine]

Sorry about that! Perhaps He has not knocked you to your knees yet. I pray He will one day. Kathie

[Gee]

Hmmm, we'll see, but I'm awfully pessimistic Kathie.

Ron, sometimes we have to be knocked to our knees before we turn to Him. Kathie

Pangs of sadness resonate from this. The way this flows reminds me of the rhythm of a song, but maybe that's just my musical mind altering it. It really got me. I could really feel the emptiness within myself while reading this.

[Valentine]

I would hope someone would feel this way and turn to Christ. He is our only answer. Kathie

A loss is never easy to bear as is the replacements. Another sad write Kathie.

Andrew, this was meant more for people lost in a sinful world, not my loss of my mate. For some of us that are stubborn it takes a lot longer to come to Christ. Kathie
