HE'S BEEN THERE by Anita Anderson

I came across a good poem today that I wanted to share. This poem is
called "He's Been There" by Anita Anderson.

As you travel down life's pathway,
Does your load feel heavier each day?
Does the path ahead grow faint and dim,
Till you almost lose your way?

Do your feet grow tired and weary,
Till you feel you can walk no more?
The shoes you wear are old and worn,
And your feet are bleeding and sore.

Do you trip over unseen objects?
Are there times you even fall,
And no one's near to lend a hand,
Or hear you when you call?

Oh, friend, I know of someone,
Who sees your every move.
He cares so very much for you,
His heart is filled with love.

This man I know is Jesus.
Here's how I know He cares,
You see, the very road you're on,
He's already traveled there.

For He walked down a pathway,
So many years ago.
The cross they made Him carry,
Became a heavy load.

I'm sure that He grew weary,
As He bled from many a sore.
And the blood, it trickled down His face,
Till He could see no more.

Perhaps He even stumbled,
And fell beneath the load.
There were even those who mocked and scorned,
As He traveled down that road.

So when the days grow dreary,
And everything goes wrong,
When it seems all hope has faded,
And the way gets rough and long;

Remember that He's been there.
He cares and understands.
Because He cares, He suffered,
With nails in His feet and hands
