Hope From Above
There are times in our lives when nothing seems right, when things don’t go our way;
When just getting out of bed feels like a difficult task at the start of every day.
When it seems like such a laborious chore just to shower, shave, and get dressed;
Just to face the world with a smile on our face when we feel so damn depressed.
Why, I repeatedly ask of myself, am I feeling the way that I do.
I can’t remember a time in my life when I’ve ever felt this blue.
Could it be the circumstances of today that I am facing in my life;
Could it have something to do with the fact that I only have a part time wife?
And life goes on all around me each day, as if there is nothing wrong;
And my pain continues to grow in my mind, and in my heart there is no song.
Perhaps it would help, I say to myself, if I had something to look forward to.
Perhaps if I did, I say to myself, some happiness might accrue.
I realize the truth, I can’t make it alone, I know this to be a fact.
I seek strength where I can again and again, and help from my friends extract;
And throughout the day I look to the sky and seek strength from God above;
For my hope of making it through the day, lies in the hope of His precious love.
