As I slump down in despair, I feel life fading.
 

My hands, once, happily helping and serving, lay useless and cold at my side.
 My feet, once active and playful, linger like stone.

My eyes and ears, once eagerly soaking in information, stay unreceptive and distant in my head.
 

My mouth, once brought forth words of comfort and laughter, became as a hole in my face.

My heart, once felt almost every feeling there is to feel, is locked between my ribs.

 Love, which I had felt the strongest in my heart, is far and unreal like a fairy tale.

My head, once thinking faster than the speed of light, is no more than a mere organ.

A bitter tear squeezed out of my right eye,

       then my left,

As I whispered to the heavens,

 "Father, where art thou? And why hast thou forsaken me?"

 All was hopeless,

Life has lost its meaning,

And I am no more.

My tears slid down my cheek,

     and landed on the soft, green grass.

 I looked up for an answer;   

and found it.

The warmth of the sun had reached my heart,

 I thought of my hands holding my siblings,

I remembered my feet running with determination,

I saw my parents say, "I'm proud of you."

I felt the kindness of my friends and teachers,

     But the most important of all,

I perceived God's love for me.

For the sacrifice of my Savior,

Was the most painful of all.

His love is unlimited,

His life eternal, His divinity the greatest,

Even as He cried,

"Father, why forsakest Thou me?"

He withstood it all.

 Oh how terrible it must've been,

To watch Thy perfect son be tortured above all the creatures of the Earth!

My eyes opened,

My feet once again stood.

My lips declared, "Lord! "

"My hands will once again serve Thee,

"My eyes and ears will behold and help Thy creations,

"And my heart,

     "My heart,

         "My heart,

             "My heart,

 "My heart will try to love others,

 "As Thou lovest me.

 "Even those that have wronged and hurt me!"

Tears of joy leaked out of my eyes,

And my feet flew all the way home.

 My heart lightened,

My mind cleared,

And my mouth smiled,

As I knew that from this day on,

(Because I am not alone)

 I shall conquer every trial in my way,

As long as I stayed faithful,

With God at my side to lift me and help me.
