A Painful Struggle

A PAINFUL STRUGGLE 
 
                MY HEART FEELS VERY HEAVY TODAY
                AND TEARS JUST FLOW AND FLOW,
                WHILE PAIN JUST RIPS MY BODY
                AND WITH IT I HAVE NO CONTROL
                
 
               I TRY SO HARD TO FIGHT THIS PAIN
               BUT IT JUST WONT GO AWAY,
               IT STAYS AROUND AND LINGERS
               PLEASE LORD HELP ME I PRAY.
 
 
              IF I MUST CARRY A CROSS FOR YOU
              THEN I,LL DO IT WITH MY HEART,
              BUT PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH LORD
              I WILL GLADLY DO MY PART.
 
 
             I NEED A NEW TOUCH FROM YOU LORD
             MY FIGHT IS SLIPPING AWAY.
             I AM SO WEAK, SO HELPLESS
             DONT LET ME GO ASTRAY.
 
 
               I WANT TO BE YOUR SERVANT LORD
               AND TO DO THE BEST I CAN,
              TO WIN A PRECIOUS SOUL FOR YOU
              AND BE SOMEBODIES FRIEND.
 
 
             MY SOUL IS VERY TIRED  WORN TODAY
            FROM MY ANGUISH AND MY PAIN,
            OH LORD I NEED A MIRACLE,
            PLEASE TOUCH ME ONCE AGAIN.

Ann this is beautiful. Just love your poem's. They touch me when I read them. This one I can relate too. Education does not make the poet, this is an example of wonderful piece of literature. GBU Ann. Michael
