By the Hand

Sitting here wondering about tomorrow
Seeing my life has so much sorrow
Wondering what is my next take
Not even knowing if I will wake
I wonder what is the next rise
As I know things will be a surprise
The world is a hard place
Troubles of life is what I face
My heart is in pain
Starting to go insane
Instead of picking up the knife
I evaluate my life
See what God has pulled me through
I know his promises are true
I feel all alone inside
But I know God has people by my side
Time is such of an essence
Giving me lots of life lessons 
I hurt inside all my life
I once thought about using a knife
God gave me a pen
So I wouldn't put my life to an end
I know thatt I am not full of wonder
But I'm not going to fall under
My time on earth is a blessing
I know my life isn't resting
Pushing forward to make through
I know this much is true
God has me by the hand
Its time for me to take a stand

How sad, but a wonderful spiritual write to lead and guide a hurting soul. It is so wonderful that the pen is mightier than the sword. A 7 my friend
