she never knew.

restless. always restless.
she never knew how to just sit and wait.
she never knew how to not take control.
she never knew how to remain still.
she never knew how to sleep.

but she did know pain. and loneliness. and passion.
and loving someone more than herself.

this long suffering kept cutting, deeper and deeper.
and no one could ever save her.
some tried to hold their hand out to help her.
but she never saw it.
she never knew love.
she never found love.

she never knew how He could love her.

then His precious hands took her into His arms.
His presence redeemed her from suffering,
and sang her heart to sleep.
a lullaby of love.

sleeping until it is time to awaken.

& until the day that he finds Him in her.
the day she meets him,
her sleeping heart will awaken from the sleep that she never knew.
she now knows she will go peacefully by his side.
& his peace will be in her presence. always.
