Learning to Let Go

A single crystal tear trailed slowly down my face,
As I cast my heart into the river of my loving Savior's grace,
And after that one tear I shed had fallen to the ground,
My eyes were dry, and though I tried, my sobs made not a sound,
And my heart, it kept on aching, plaintively it cried,
As I bowed my head in anguish, and turned away my eyes,
For a time so long of invested heart,
A long-strung thread must come apart,
Anchored roots so grown together,
Strong entwined through stormy weather,
Must come apart and be untangled,
Though such action proves so painful,
So my heart thrown in the river, cut off my selfish ties,
Trusting in my God alone, ignoring Satan's lies,
And though the walk is painful, I want to let you know,
That I still truly love you, but I'm learning to let go. <3
