I thought I was over that feeling of "lost" And was even happy to meet each new day I again saw the sun and turned lights off Even the shadows in deepest corners kept at bay But then as I went to bed last night I began my prayers the same as before Asking God to hear me and make all things right When the feeling of "lost" came upon me once more The tears sprang from my eyes in rivers My breathing was in gasps from my crying Thoughts of a kind and giving God that delivers Peace on this night gone and I feel I am dying I fall into a fretful sleep with troubled dreams Running, running in shadowed empty rooms I need to find the light from sunny beams And chase away the feeling of impending doom It is morning when I finally open my eyes My face is still wet from night time tears I need an answer to all these why's God won't forsake me but will quiet my fears Hear my prayers and help me to understand Why the darkness is with me once again I want to feel the sun on my face so I can Begin to heal and my life be in command My prayers will be answered The sun will shine, shadows gone Tears only with laughter, happiness shared Hard times may come but I'll never be alone |

Thanks, Songbird and I am in Texas. I can't seem to stay happy for long. It must be a family thing. Hugs, ME |

We are never alone ME, as long as we believe. Wonderful words of faith you share.  On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. Donna Smith |

Not only are we never alone but when we need "his" strength then he is always there to reassure us. We all get this way at times and as long as we recognize it then we are not too far gone. Wonderful piece from you.......AGAIN....now THAT runs in the family. |

Uh-huh. Good one, ME. On my walk I was thinking... Does He listen more when our prayers issue from the deepest of darkest places, or are they merely more fervent and we more determined to listen? |

VAS, now that is a deep question! I don't know the answer. But, I will keep asking Him to give me strength. Hugs, ME |

M_E, May all your prayers be answered. This was so touching and full of emotion. ~HUGS~ LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
