I Tried It All Until... Poem by Divina Boulangé

Crushed.
Broken.
Forsaken.
Lost.
Hopeless.
You, too?

I tried friends; they left me lonely.
I tried food; it left me hungry.
I tried forgetting; it still haunted me.

I tried self; yet I was empty.
I tried shopping; it left me spent.
I tried sports; it left me unfulfilled.

I tried counsel; it left me wondering.
I tried crying; I ran out of tears.
I tried Christ; He left me satisfied!

Now in times of sorrow or loss
I leave my cares at the foot of the cross.
