The Battle For Peace

How is it with them, I wonder As I fumble through the motions Wondering if their rapture Hits them like a potion Out of the blue Into the night Stinging the nostrils Craving light. The silence, deafening My defeat, noticeable Why their happiness over mine? Am I not a lamb in this wool? I am shepherded outside Scared and penniless, I cry But I do know this I still ask why Why the ignorance? Why their lives having importance Over mine? I’ll do this dance Until I get it right For I am led inside Into the Good Shepard’s arms And now I know they lied They broke a family covenant They think I can have stones Cast at me and think they Sin not in their bones. Miracle after miracle I was saved Time after time He showed for me Endless, unconditional love Because He heard my pleas Good Lord help me, save me And then it was so. Eleven times it was so I forsook shelter in one blow From an evil unlike others I sacrificed to save myself Little did I know of the soon To be mine wealth. They have happiness and I Don’t count mine still I feel their stones The bond is what will kill I stay with Him through it all I stay with the others too I have no choice but to find peace Through and through For what is happiness when There is peace in Adversity rising daily And then I win?
