The Senior

I once gave it all up for a life...not my own.
A willing sacrifice like that of Christ...destined for a different kind of pain.
Short bursts of praise came when the occasion CALLED for it.
Love that seemingly overflowed.
Then your life began to HAPPENING... I began fading into the past.
A sense of abandonment became my houseguest.
I'm in the way...I'm a burden.
My time has past, my work is done.
You will cry out but my departure is for the best.
Christ will be there to catch me and I will MATTER again.
