There is a thorn in my heart

There is a thorn in my heart
And it will not depart
No matter how hard I've tried
To dislodge it
And though I wish it were gone
And yet it somehow belongs
I still wonder at how I've
survived  it?

I then surrender inside 
when I finally realize 
Just how deeply deceived I have been.
For so many years and through so many tears. I cry out...
'When will it end, Lord? Oh when?'

It is at that moment when He then reaches down
And pulls me up off of the ground
And whispers "Not yet, my dear son. No... not yet.
Your journey is not yet done; 
So you must carry on
Until the very, very, very
...last sunset"

So It's been Him all this while
Every breeze; every smile
He is hidden in all seen and unseen
Yet most people ignore Him
Or downright deplore Him
But those who love Him 
Will know what I mean :)

When this journey is done
And the victory won 
I will at last, and yet only in hope
Go to that place that exists
outside of time and of space
 I will go to my eternal Reward

Nought for anything I've done
For  it is He and He alone 
who has walked down
our very same paths.
And in return for this gift
There is yet but one wish
"Follow Me" is all that He asks

There is a thorn in my heart
And it will not depart
No matter how hard I try
To dislodge it
Yet there it remains 
Amid sorrow...joy! ...pain
Until He comes again soon
To reclaim it
