Last night I think I met the most beautiful young woman I’ve ever met in my entire life.
Joyce
Orphaned by AIDS
As it kills her too
Only 17 years of life thus far
God alone knows how many remain
She sits in pain
Stands in pain
IS in pain
Consequences from choices
Someone else made
Days tick by
Pain increases
Yet, Joyce finds that joy her name suggests
The guitar chords pierce the air
Her beautiful voice rings out into the night sky
Her heart sings:
“Draw me close to you
Never let me go…
Lord, You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know you are near”
Peace
Only for a moment
But peace
Body
Mind
Soul
At peace
At peace in her Savior
Who is always near
