Who Would Know?

In Maui, and on the beach,

I sit on a large, black rock

against a flowing reef of lush, green plants

and I'm alone in my thoughts

Who would know

that I am broken?

Who would know

that I'm a grieving widow?

Who would know

that I'm searching

the depths of my soul

for answers, and for a new beginning?

People walk by and smile,

each in their own world.

A world like mine?

I appear to be a grown woman,

but inside a child,

dealing with grief and pain.

Comforted by God,

I continue to seek His will for my life.

Is my new journey to be alone, or shared?

I continue to trust and have faith.

Faith in the Rock whom I believe

is as solid

as the rock I'm sitting on.

Who would know that I'm a widow

leaning on the Rock?

I hope you do,

I hope you see Christ in me.

The joy of the Lord is my strength.

Nehemiah 8:10
