I Had No Place To Rest My Head Part 1

Days, months and years had gone by, 
I could never understand the reasons why,

I could never focus, 
I could never see, 
I could never rest my head so easily.

There were many fears I had, 
I stop feeling so sad.

Oh how my tears would over flow, 
scared and lonely never wanting anyone to know.

Not my husband, nor my family or friends,
I wanted to be the strong one for them to depend.

I didn't know what I was going to do, 
who was I going to take this all to?

My struggles were winning I couldn't go on, 
my life was so stressful, my dreams were all gone.

I remembered what my mother said, 
she taught me to pray tucking me in bed.

She would pray to Our Father as she gently spoke
her voice was like music always giving me hope.
