Beneath the Ice - Re-Posted

Ice and beauty, beauty and ice;

Her heart is filled with both.

She knows that she should let one go,

But, to do so, she’s loathe.

For all the ice that coats her heart

Was formed through years of pain

And she’s afraid that if it melts

She’ll feel it all again.

But still, beneath that sheath of ice

Born from her years of strife,

The beauty of a loving heart

Still glows with vibrant life.

Jeremiah 8:18

You who are my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
