My Heart

My eyes fill with tears. Loud sounds drown my ears. When will you be home? How long will I be alone? Might take months even years. Please sweet Jesus, calm my fears. I sit scared of the silence, All the drugs and violence. When will I take a stand? Never once offered a hand. What's done is done, God did give His only begotten Son To allow me to be happy and free, Dying with Him forever be. I rest now assured One day, I will have wings like the birds. Jesus took on the fight, May prayer be my delight.
