The heart that won’t pretend may mend, but when will mourning end?
Everybody in the world needs a good friend.
If we want to heal, we must be real and learn to feel.
But when others cry or laugh, what message does it send?
The heart that won’t pretend may mend. Have you a hand to lend?
For reality bites, though it does produce insights,
And through pain we may be set free,
Even though we fear it may last an eternity.
A flood of emotions pours into the sea
Of this broken earth in all gravity.
Some chase after strife to give them life,
But such running ends in bitterness, distress.
“By Jesus’ stripes we are healed”
Is not a platitude or simple attitude.
Our griefs He bore, so let us not ignore.
Life in His blood has power to heal,
The question is: Can you feel?
Seeds of faith that fall on rocks
Bear no fruit in the end.
For the heart that does not pretend
Eventually may mend.
But woe to the one who rejects a true friend.

C.R. Flamingbush grew up in Wheaton, Illinois and graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in German and linguistics. After working seven years for the Department of Defense (an easy job), she took on the most difficult challenge in the world: a lifetime career of raising four children. Along the way she developed a passion for writing Christian superhero fantasy. She enjoys humor because it's Biblical (see the second psalm) and she loves to make people laugh - whether through her writings, her art, or just by being herself. Writing fantasy is her way of poking fun at human foibles and all the ridiculous ideas that so easily beset the human race, while at the same time honoring God in every way she can.
Flamingbush has been a member of Faithwriters since 2010, and several of her winning contest entries have been published by Fresh Air Press. She likes Fan Story and has been a Narnia fan since the age of ten. In terms of influence, she aspires to be the next C.S. Lewis but has quite a ways to go in that regard. Speed of Sight, a Superhero Adventure, is her first novel. A sequel is in the works.
