In Need of Love and Support

"In Need of Love and Support."

There are many who are in need of a concerned
ear and a shoulder to lean and to cry on too.
Because many who are in relationships, marriages
and those who are alone are really going through.
The storms of life are intense and many are in need of Love
and support a word of encouragement they need to hear.
We are not islands but we're suppose to be there for one
another so those who are in need of a word I am here.
In need of Love and support many relationships are
over in spirit and emotion and that other has moved on.
The spark they had in the marriage has gone out
and the fire that once blazed is gone.
They don't talk to each other but at each other
throwing accusations and blame.
They're at war and they're both suffering pointing
fingers and calling each other out their name.
This is a time where the voice and concern of a friend
is helpful not taking sides but listening is what they need.
They want to vent off steam that has been building
they need someone there who is more than words but deed.
The ministry is not only in the Pulpit but on the front lines
where many are hurt and in need of some healing.
Many are broken hearted they need an ear to listen
because what they feel to you they'll be revealing.
In need of Love and support because Love is what
they're not receiving at this time from their mate.
Remember this is a time where they're unhappy and
not pleased with one another at any rate.
This isn't a time to take advantage of them they're
vulnerable they need your compassion sincerely.
A heart that cares and is concerned is all that they
really need a true friend they need to see.
I wrote this poem when I was spiritually attacked
entitled "In Need of a Friend" with my pager number on it.
Well I got a call from a Sister who was in deep depression
and thoughts of suicide was on her mind to commit.
Where there was crying, laughter was at the end of our
conversation she was in need of some support and Love.
Sometimes we are the closest things they will get to
hearing a word from our Heavenly Father above.

Shalom
