Friend 6/26/93
Dear Lord I need you
There's so much I can't do
Help me be content, even with my fractures and flaws
Lord, help me abide by your laws
I ask for your strength, for I need it so dearly
I can't carry on, this world makes me so weary
I can barely even hope
Though hope is the future
I see no humor in life's negative joke
By negligence, it seems to be teeming out,
streaming through the seams
They who my heart deems so dear
seem to leave me out on a limb,
victim of my own wounded whim
Dark clouds close my mind from what I think I know
Even friends can make life seem cold
I seem to have lost the little I love so much
It may not be true, but it seems as such
If I could read the enigma of a mind I don't know
and trust someone enough that I could pour out
and show my heart, my thoughts that are buried within
I wish for, quite simply, a friend
I thought I knew my Lord, the God that created all
I accepted Him as He was revealed to me
But I know nearly mothing at all
He is bigger than I can possibly imagine
His Love is deeper than a finite existance can possibly fathom
I knew so little about my dearest and closest friend
Who will still be there, even after everything ends.
His Love is what carries me on
It is He who makes me so fond of others
And He who wakes the dawn
He brings the Son into our lives
And the Light into our eyes
And shows me the way to carry on.
