My Shadows
I sit in darkness.
I feel that you won't provide,
as if you left me.
I call out to you
as I would ask my own dad,
but you don't respond.
You said of fathers:
"They don't spurn, but give good gifts."
but I feel left out.
There must be a fault.
Though, it lies with me, not you.
You, God, do not fail.
I don't understand
Help me to hear in silence
to see through shadows.
When I am in pain
have the spa-sms not distract
and heal me within.
Your love is steadfast
despite my failure to feel.
Please, Jesus, bless me.
