Determined As They Are Poem by Bradley Lester

Determined as they are, the pain inside is real
An emptiness engulfs them, their saddened heart they feel
A love that has been lost, to someone that was dear
Not knowing when they'll see, for this they sometimes fear
Some promises are made, but none are really kept
The hurt inside just grows, their eyes are sore they wept
It's sad that this is so, this someone who they had
Who loved them back in time, no more it must be sad
They hold their heads up high, despite the hurt inside
Believing who they are, the Lord above will guide
My heart goes out to them, it's not their fault at all
They werent the ones to blame, but yet they seemed to fall
Unfair it was to them, the hurt will soon subside
They'll comfort one another, and walk around with pride
That person doesnt know, the pain and hurt they feel
From day to day they hurt, their hearts one day will heal
I pray for them each week, to keep them strong inside
To know that they are loved, in God they can confide
