Lord,

By to some i am a poet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

please show me a better day. it seems like i only pray when things ain't goin my way. but i want you to stay, don't go away. you know i'll need you here. i'll need you to dry the tears. i feel your presence near me but it seems like you don't hear me. Lord, there is so much i need to tell you. well you may not know this but i can tell you do. i sin, and you see what i go through. you want me to win and lead me in the right direction. i need your protection Lord. help me feel safe and sound. sometimes Lord, i don't feel you around. those are the times when i'm feelin down. i guess it's just to make me stronger. now i no longer think i'm a goner. it's been a long time since i couldn't stand, so whatever you do Lord, when I die, take me to the promise land.
