walking through life with open eyes

observing too much
©2-27-10 hannah mclean

my eyes cannot
my mind cannot
my heart cannot
it is too much

pain crescendos
tears cascade

i cannot close my eyes
because You want me to see
i cannot close my mind
because You want me to know
I cannot close my heart
because You want me to feel

i find myself before You
with a plea
“come, Lord Jesus,
i cannot bear to watch”

it is too much

clinging to You
i find that
Your eyes protect mine
Your mind surrounds mine
Your heart soothes mine
it is too much
but You are more

Oh friend, thank you for your words. Feeling very encouraged of the rewards of seeing, hearing, and feeling, even when it is so painful. Lamentations 2:19.
