ESCAPE PLAN

I thought that I might waller

I would hold my head and cry;

but the peace that overwhelmed me

shocked the little girl inside.

No one else can hold the power.

No bitterness can encase

a heart that has found healing,

growing and learning from it's mistakes.

Breathing became easy.

My mind was intent on letting go.

I felt a lifting of the heaviness,

that once kept me moving slow.

Jesus wrapped his arms around me;

around the home that couldn't stand.

I blindly reached out for an escape,

and I grasped his steady hand.
