Past Present

I look to you, one of many.
You are my past, now my present.
With me still, surrounding me always;
saying; stay steadfast!
Bend your knees when hope is gone.
Cry out HIS Name when you are unlearn.
I listen, as you speaks HIS truths.
I follow; knowing you've been here.
Show me your ways; I need to know.
Cast down your wisdom; I want to learn. 
Stay with me; as always.
