Dearest Lord

Dearest Lord:  Take away this pain inside and help your Love to be my guide, 
For all along lifes roads I see pain and suffering all in front of me,
I will take your hand and fight,though day seems like night, 
Your Love will walk in front of me, and clear the darkness for me to see,
I will abide by your rules dear Lord for those are our strongest tools,
to Love and Cherish each alone, as special beings of your own,
as I walk through this evil Lord, place in my hand a righteous sword 
Made out of Love and tenderness, so I can do my very best.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
