Darkened Days

I now see the crossroads my time is at hand I’ve met the devil and proudly taken my stand With my Lord and my God my heart will stay true No matter what happens I’ll stand here with you Your loyalty and wisdom are beyond compare You gave us your life and paid for our fare You give love for all, and you go all in You hold our hearts in your hands and forgive man’s sin Forgive me my Lord for all that I’ve done I have let you down and you’ve never cut and run Please see my heart and know that it’s true I’m down on my knees, I’m here just for you Watch my brothers and sisters and their children as well I pray they believe, and in your kingdom, they’ll dwell Please help us God I humbly pray Please help guide us through these darkened days July 30, 2020 STRAND completely new (15) any theme any form Poetry Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand

The path is hard but I do my best to stay on it. I seem to stray more than I would like but I keep trying. Thanks so much Tom for stopping by. I appreciate you my friend!
