Something for the Lonely

To the lonely one:


To the lonely one:

because you're not alone.

Although it seems

that no one's there,

My Jesus always is.

No, you cannot see him.

No, he's not to hug,

But call his name

and hear his whisper,

He loves you more than ever.

He is no stranger

to the loneliest of days.

40 days he wandered

alone without a pal.

Temptations of death

of sin and sorrow

He faced and won complete.

He longs to draw you near to him,

to rest you on his chest.

He knows your lonely,

He knows your sorrow,

He's been through it all before.

Call to him,

turn your face,

to my Jesus who already knows your name.

Let him kiss you with his whisper,

let him hold your face.

Call to him

and he will answer

even the loneliest of place.
A Hopeful Hood

  14. I am so thrilled that you added this to the Open Letters Link-up. What rich biblical truth in such a heartfelt poem! And so creative. In the line "rest you on his chest," I pictured how I bring my sleeping 3-month-old to rest on my chest. What a comfort to know that Jesus is there to hold us close when we are lonely.
