On My Way Home

On a journey to find my way home.
With God, I have found 
that I'm never alone.
On my way home.
Searching for the pieces 
to mend the creases
Of my broken heart.
Left on the ground.
Stumbled on a woman.
Finally,
 it was me that I found.
Tears of sorrow
streaming down my face.
Proceeded my destination.
To this unknown place.
With God, I found
I'm never alone.
I'm On a journey
 to find my way home.
To grasp on to those dreams 
That I chase.
Only holding on because of 
his loving grace.
Searching for meaning in time.
Determined to find
Trying to survive
this mountain that I climb.
Mind wondering as I puffed my cigarette
sip on my wine.
Rich or poor, God was there
When I didn't have a dime.
Through these paths that I've stumbled 
I never walked alone.
He was there to keep me strong.
Right or wrong.
Survived the wilderness.
Survived the dirt.
So many times I've been hurt.
What us black women go through.
And so much, we are worth.
God Heald me through the strain.
Through my struggles 
My pain. 
Survived the battlefield.
Where my blood still remains.
Through poverty, my gains.
Dark clouds and rain.
A sense of peace 
Tumbled down on my soul.
A priceless light in my life.
More precious
 then diamonds
And gold. 
He Heald my legs when they were weak.
Stood me up, as I grew tired.
He sent an Angel of motivation 
Whenever I felt uninspired.
In my life. 
He's acquired 
Because of him
 life is so much more.
Finding blessings in my paths,
that has always been in store.
All those dark nights
You were my blanket of security.
Made my world brand new.
The love that you gave.
From my soul Lord.
I thank you.
I always knew 
that I was never alone.
Blessings to the people
Who were here and now gone.
To my Angels I love you.
Though I have to go on.
I have to go on.
On my way home.
Dear "God" thank you 
for keep me strong.
On My Way Home
