Poem
The dash is blinking, she's low on gas, how far can she get from her past? From the one that hurt her for too many years, the one that brought on too many tears. She wonders if she well ever be far enough, as she calls out, "Oh lord, why must it be this tough!" What have I done for you to forsake me this way, your guidance Dear Lord, for that I will pray. Please help me through this time of need, do you hear me Lord, for your help I plead. She wonders if she has made a mistake, but she knows in her heart, it was the only choice to make. She had a choice in life, she was grown, but that little girl in the back had no voice of her own. She did not ask to be brought up this way, and the thought of her hurting, she could not stand another day. And she cries out, "Oh Lord," What could she have done for you to forsake her this way, let her live her childhood, for that I will pray. Please help us through our times of need, do you hear me Dear Lord, for this I plead. The days moved on and the girl began to grow, will she have questions about him? She doesn't know. Will she resent her for what she has done, or will she understand why they had to run. Than as she laid her girl to bed that night, the answer she could see, Mom, I do understand, a family we could not be. Than she said, "Mom," I know the lord did not intend it this way, our happiness dear mom, for that he did pray. He was there to help us through our times of need, Do you hear me mom, forgive him I plead. Tears fell from her eyes as she laid in bed, thoughts of what her daughter said flashed in her head. At that moment she could clearly see, alone in life, she would never be. For the lord had given her the most precious gift, a child to love, and her spirit to lift. Than she cried, "Oh Lord" Please forgive me for the mistakes I have made, your forgiveness, Dear Lord, for that I will pray. For I see that you never left me through my times of need, Stand by me Lord, for that I will plead. And the Lord answered, All is forgiven, my child for you see, standing by your side, I will always be. For you see, my child, you were never alone, I have been right here waiting for you to come home.
