Not a Tear Forgotten




Every tear that has been shed from the eye

has felt the pain of the cry of the broken soul.

I was told that a mother's life was to love and nurture

the one that she gave life to, as if it was her very own life.

How many hours did my mother kneel and pray for me?

I will never know how many tears were shed

but I know she loves me, by the prayers she invested in my soul.

You see she knows the Master, who gave His life that we all may live.

Do we as mothers know that our children are a gift?

Have you felt like life has shifted and yours is broken with tears

that feel as though your soul has bled and cannot stop?

Jesus is there knocking waiting for you to say come in.

Your child may be living in sin but let Jesus be your friend.

He knows about your tears as your heart is breaking, wanting all this heartache to end.

There has never been a tear that God has not held in His hand.

Susan Wall

I am a born again Christian, I go to a church that preaches all the Bible. Some years ago you would call that kind of church a holy rolling church. I am very proud to be called a Christian. He saved from hell and gave me a new life. God saved my soul from hell. I am a mother, a stay at home house wife. I love to write and share with others what God has done for me. I write to cope with stress as well, it is my outlet. God has given me the gift to write. I want to make a difference to someone that may be hurting. Maybe my writings will lead someone to the Lord with my life experiences. God bless those who reads this. I am also known as the Dreamer with identifying myself to other people. I am just a sinner saved by grace. more…
