I see your downcast eyes.

Your shoulders bent forward from the burden

Of guilt that you carry that’s not your own.

I see your smile that goes away quickly when you think no one is looking .

I hear the words you don’t say between the brave attempts to stay strong .

I feel the anxiety and fear that tightens your neck and jaw .

You’re not alone.

It’s not your fault.

You can’t fix them.

You can’t make them care.

Take your burden to Jesus

Who loves you without hurting you

Who never lies

Who is always there offering comfort

He cares.

You’re not alone.
