Locked Inside

Within these confines of what is called my mind There dwells a creature, who’s been there for all time I keep him under lock and key For any escape would destroy me He was out at one time With no remorse, no regret He ruled my life, I’ll never forget He walked a path that few understand And every sin he held in his hand Those days are gone but not forgot Of pain, suffering and the wrath he brought “One day at a time” is what I do To keep the door locked for me and you With love in your heart and wings on your back You keep me afloat I’ll never go back The key to the door My Father now has And through Him he’ll never pass My Father knows what’s best for me I worship, honor, and respect thee And when it’s time for me to go All my love to you I bestow
