My Lord

This world can be a hard cold place,                                                                                                                                         a place I do not want to embrace.                                                                                                                                        Some do fall from all that is not true,                                                                                                                                    some will not finish the race.                                                                                                                                                    Life is full of good and bad,                                                                                                                                                           some days I have had both and that was sad.                                                                                                                               My Lord you were the only one I can run to,                                                                                                                           "the world was on fire, no one could save me but you."
