HERO

You, my hero…

Oh how I wish that could be

I want so badly for my heart to see.

For I long to find in you,

I need to see in you,

A hero, strong and true.

My heart recalls the pain

So deep and evermore.

The scar is still there, but

The hurt no longer is sore.

My need for you

was more than I knew.

But in your own agony and grief,

You shrunk away to find relief.

I was alone to handle my fear,

My cries of sorrow

you couldn’t hear.

For locked away in your own distress,

You were blind to my tears,

So unrepressed.

I wanted to see you on that

white horse,

Coming to save me

Without  remorse.

But, you were broken…

Shining armor all astrew.

For your previous wounds and burdens,

I really never knew. 

Then there was the marriage,

Pain and heartbreak.

Why did it have to be,

Why did I quake?

Why couldn’t I sustain,

Standing tall?

Working to repair,

Through it all?

It was too much

for either of us to bear.

So I ran far away,

No hero was there.

My heart holds no blame,

Only regret for time past.

It goes by so quickly,

Flies by so fast.

The hero in you,

was not meant for me.

God is my hero, for He

Guides and protects me.

I believe through Jesus we

Grow and learn.

And between love and pain,

We soon discern.

Honey, I’m committed to

Love and endure.

Someday you’ll be my hero,

I know that for sure.
