Dear God

I wish I could write you a love song Fill with heart felt words I wish I could say that I love you and meant every word But as you know I am just a man And even now as I have grown I still cannot understand the meaning of those three letter words. I spent my life searching I spent my days hoping Even now as I have aged and have a family of my own I still do not understand the meaning of those three letter words They say, that they love you They say, that they care But their words are cheap and weigh no value. My heart is still broken My bones are weak My nights are restless And my soul is asleep. I feel so hopeless Defeated and crush These burdens I carry Have me buried in a dump. I try to call out I try to shout But these words I speak No one can hear me. God take my hand Lift my pain Save me from this cane I am afraid its about to leave a big old stain. Lord I am in so much pain These scares bring nothing but shame Jesus please let it rain Save me, I think I am about to go completely in sane.

Your words gently take the reader to your private place where feelings can drift and pain seeks refuge. Emile.
