Are you weary ?
rest a little bit
in some quiet corner
fold your hands and sit
do not let the trials
that have grieved you
all the day
haunt this quiet corner
drive them all away
let your heart grow empty
of every thought unkind
that peace may hover around
you and joy may fill your mind
count up all your blessings
I'm sure they are not few
that the Dear Lord
daily bestows on you
soon you'll feel so rested
glad you stopped a bit
in this quiet corner
to fold your hands and sit
I've been looking for this quiet corner for awhile now . This poem is the closest to explain how I have been feeling lately . I have no desire to go anywhere or do anything . Don't want to go to the doctor . No more lab work: no more chemo . Just leave me be . I want the phone to stop ringing . Don't want to talk . I just want to sit in this quiet corner with my hands folded and just plain do nothing . I feel selfish for feeling this way . I make myself get up and see people . I am not depressed , yet I want to be alone . Has anyone felt like this ? I know there are many of you who have gone through an illness . Have you felt like this ? This is a first for me .
"The Lord is my Shepherd;
ReplyDeleteI shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul..." Psalm 23:1-3
Yes, I have been there, Lottie. My heart goes out to you, dear friend. You are in my prayers, always.
