“Just try not to forget: Healing hearts is what I do”

No hace falta palabrería para presentar el último poema de David M. Bailey, quien como yo, conVive con su Intruso. A David lo conocemos por las pasadas entradas del 7, 8 y 9 de julio del corriente.

Holy Healer (David M. Bailey)

I said “Lord, I need to talk to you – where do I begin?

Feeling fragile with these scars on both sides of my skin

Guess I kinda wondered if you know how I feel

And is possible that someday, somehow I will heal?

“Good grief, david”: God said with a sigh

I got a billion ways to answer that; which one should I try?

I said “You promised you’d never leave but I bet it’s crossed your mind

I know a lot of other people more deserving of your time

God said “is that what you think? Cuz that’s what they think too -

And all of you are wrong - Now let’s just think this through:

There’s a whole lotta you but only one of Me

Do you think I would subject Myself to exclusivity?

No, my child, it simply doesn’t work that way

I’m here for all of you every second, every day

Now, as for your scars – trust me, I understand

I got scars myself – 1 in both my hands

The good news is that yes, they heal after awhile

Try not to be impatient; find someone who makes you smile

That shouldn’t be too hard; I put angels everywhere

They help me reach out to you and show how much I care

Though you may not believe it, your heart will heal too

It won’t happen overnight, but I’m gonna stay with you

Yeah, stick with Me and I’ll show you exactly how to start

There’s a room up here in heaven where I fix the broken hearts

But the one that you got now is all you’ll ever need

So let it break, let it shine, let it bend, let it bleed

And above all else my child, share it with those in need

You might be quite surprised when they give it back to you

Just try not to forget: Healing hearts is what I do.
