One day a door opened
A wall torn down
One day a door opened
A deep love was found
Written words
Opened the door
Deep recesses explored
A perfect love she thought
Written words once brought
One day the door slammed closed
A wall arose
The heart once open
Now is closed
"What words," He said
As her heart bled
No longer important
No longer read
The sun once bright
Now a fading light
The door he once opened
Now closed tight
A day to remember
A day to believe
A perfect love she perceived
That day now ends
What she thought important
Was only pretend

So is it Awn-dree-ah or Ann-dree-ah....or Awn-DREE-ah? Either way, it's lovely! What's it mean?
Lovely poem. :)
I feel the pain from the words you had written. I always believe in "actions speak louder than words." Great poem sister! Have a blessed day. God bless. Love to you.
(big sigh)...this is sad and heavy...very well written though. This kind of heart experience is so common to many but only few can express it so well like you did. Thanks for sharing, Andrea.
So deep and beautiful!
Happy weekend dear Andrea.
Sweet, Andrea~
Oh, how wonderful it is to know that we can have that "perfect love" with our Heavenly Father. There is no wall, no pretense, just pure, unconditional LOVE!
Blessings, sweet sister~

Oh my dear friend your words are deep...
praying for you and am so thankful the nothing with the Lord is pretend, or false, or deceiving.
All HE brings is so real and your friendship is just one of the many blessings, one of the most constants HE has given me this past year!
I just read the update on Mary too and still praying for all of you.
I WISH that would have been you that I was taking a pic of at my grocery store with that darling little red hat on ;) You would be right here with me drinking coffee and snuggling up with our Snuggies LOL
Have a blessed day ~ I love you so much
Andrea,
What a beautiful poem. I can sense so much hope and sadness in it at the same time. May God continue to bless you throughout this year and may His goodness just fill you to overflowing.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Words eh ?!
An honest beauty in your words, Andrea.
How many of us close the door and cannot express what has occurred? How many don't even know the door is closed? How grateful for when the door is reopened and the LORD is waiting for us with open arms as well as His love. No pretension...not our LORD.
With caring and love, ~ linda
It's a deep sadness when what one thinks a love is perfect and later finds that what she thought was important is only pretend. You've got a beautiful way with words
I hear your heart...that inner turmoil. trying to make sense....You are a kindred spirit....a beautiful person...a friend I am glad I've gotten to know. Tons of hugs to you.
Beautiful poem Andrea!
Overwhelming....

I am also glad your Aunt Mary is doing well! I am continuing to pray for her.

The Lord's Grace and Mercy is so much bigger!!
Been there, but now I'm leaning on my Jesus!!
By the way Jesus met us in our Bible study today, holy Awesomeness! Thanks for sharing your poem...deep.
Dearest Andrea,
Oh how deep your words,this poem penetrates. I felt the pain and the joy throughout it. What an awesome Father we have whether the door is opened or closed...He's always, always there just waiting for us to come running to Him.
I love you my dear sweet awesome Andrea.
Thank you Lord for the gift of this beautiful soul to me, to all of us. She is a shining gem! When you created her Lord, oh what great purpose you had in mind!

I love this poem Andrea!!! Reminds me of two verses. "Faith without works is dead" and "The word was made flesh and dwelt among us"
Sweet blessings, lisa
Your sweet comments are always so encouraging. Thank you for that. When I read this poem I thought first of love from a bygone era, when the written word was via letters; but then I thought, it still is, although the letters are now email and texts. Although things change, the heart can still be broken the same way. This was beautiful.
Blessings,
Marcia
Mmmmmmm.....
(thinking)
So sad. :(
Aw, this is a sad one.
I hear your heart dear one...
Heart-wrenching. But God's love is always true. He is faithful.
You are quite a poet, my friend. A wonderful gift to you from a faithful Father.
