another crisis over
and i looked up to the skies
i wondered dearest lord
did you not hear my cries

did you not hear my prayers for help
for strength to carry on
the faith to keep on going
when most my will was gone

did you not see my tortured soul
as step by step i faded
deeper into such dispair
as problems just cascaded

i looked for you with tear filled eyes
my ears they tried to hear
as i grew weaker day by day
you never did appear

i got through it on my own you see
you didn't seem to care
i found the will to carry on
to climb from my dispair

but then i remembered a poem
and i tried to understand
the meaning behind those words
from footsteps in the sand

maybe you were really there
was i too blind to see
all along through all that pain
you were helping me

my lord please do forgive me
for doubting that you care
i know you cannot change my life
but at least i know your there

Encouraging poem. Moods do drop & experiances become tiresome..Nice to read Christian words that keep my faith strong.

There are only two places we know of- over there and over here. And God is in both of them.
Very nice, indeed.

It is very painful to feel as if God is not hearing us... but he is always faithful to us, even when we are not faithful to him. He has certainly blessed you with the gift of writing. Wonderful.
