Analysis of “tissue please”
GOD Allowed me to visit with an ANGEL TODAY
SHE SIT QUITELY AND LISTENED TO WHAT I HAD TO SAY
HER WORDS OF WISDOM PEIRCED ME MORE THAT SHE WILL EVER KNOW
AS SHE STOOD TALKING, GOD GAVE HER An HEAVENLY GLOW
THE FACE OF AN ANGEL, IS WHAT Appeared to me...
I BEGAN TO WEEP
SHE Rubbed BY BACK, she CONTINUED speaking, I began to PRAY...
GOD SENT ME TO ONE OF HIS EARTHLY ANGEL'S ON TODAY
AS I Exited her office, SHE GAVE ME A TOKEN of Praise
PERMISSION TO RELAX; I CONTINUED TO PRAY
IN LESS THAN A MINUTE SHE BECAME MORE THAN MY DOCTOR
SHE BECAME A COUNCILOR AND A FRIEND, a voice of Praise...
IN A MOMENTS TIME SHE WIPED AWAY SO MUCH INNER EMOTIONAL PAIN…
I HEARD HER VOICE SOFTLY SAY TO ME,
“MISS OFFICER”,
“GO A HEAD AND CRY, ITS OKay, GO A HEAD LET GO OF THE PAIN
IT'S OK MISS OFFICER; I was still yet silently praying...
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO STRONG... My eyes began to spray
I RELAXED MY BODY AND AS SHE ENBRACED ME I exhaled...
I WALKED TO MY CAR,
STILL I continued PRAYING
IT BEGAN TO RAIN, THE HEAVENS OPEN,
THE CLOUDS BEGAN TO AGREE,
MY TEARS BECAME INVISABLE; THE CLOUDS SENT DOWN THE RAIN IN AGREEMENT WITH ME
I CONTINUE; PRAYing
TEARS OF RELIEF
TISSUE PLEASE…
FROM HER HANDS TO MINE…
I WENT TO MY CAR
RELAXED AND PRAYED
THE HEAVENS SPRAYED
