Beyond the Pain

[Anisa]

For love, we wait in faith
for promises to come,
when we know the sacrifice is nothing
for the blessing being sought-
and we may hold our hope
with tear-filled eyes,
still, we will remember nothing
of our suffering
when our faith proves justified...
And for this love,
we bravely risk the chance
of crushing loss,
because the eternal beauty
of another heart
is worth a few dark days of pain...
Believing always,
there is a purpose beyond the heartache-
when we heal and grow
enough to hold this love we've longed for...
