Suitcases

I’m all packed up with guilt and shame

places for pain and heartache

I even found room for tears

Stained on the leather of my suitcases

I’m all packed up with regrets and mistakes

Places for failures and fears

I even found room for sneers

Scuffed on the leather of my suitcases

Suitcases that were meant to be temporary

We each have our own we carry

Suitcases that were meant for trips

Have become the journey instead

Today I traveled far and long

To the place I once felt loved

Unpacking my suitcases one by one

His words whispered me a song

“Be still and know I am God”

One by one I unpacked my life

Each suitcase traded in for His sacrifice
