My Moment With the Lord

I heard a voice in my head A voice as clear as day Urging me to speak up So I knelt down and I prayed “Lord, I know it’s you I’m here and I’m ready to learn Whatever your desire That is what I yearn” “Look” he said unto me I squinted as hard as I could The room around me melted I was sitting In the woods He pointed to a stump With branches growing from its surface “It’s broken yet it lives on Because it has a purpose” With my face in my hands And tears streaming down my cheek I started to open my mouth But I couldn’t bear to speak “I know that you hurt now But you will live on to do great things Hold on to who you are And life shall grant you wings” “But lord:” I managed to whisper And then he was no longer I sat up and wiped my face Somehow I felt stronger I never heard that beautiful voice again But inside I always knew That he would come to me If I ever needed him to
