Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

Lost In Pain

I wandered lonely, lost in pain
All I could do was weep,
A troubled mind, in unknown hills 
With chasms, dark and deep.

I did not know which path to take
Nor which way should I go,
I was seeking guidance
A sign, so I would know.

A light appeared before me
A figure caught my eye,
"Who are you," I asked of him
"Or will you pass me by."

"Can I help my son," he said
"Have you lost you way,"
"Yes, yes I have I cried"
Was all that I could say.

"Then come and take my hand
For you must follow me,
I am the Lord, your God my son
And I shall comfort thee."

So the Lord, he took me
He became my guide,
All my fears then left me
And all my tears they dried.
 
I awoke anew next morning
My heart, now filled with hope,
Whatever life may bring me
The Lord will help me cope.
