This Child

No matter how I grow up Even when age rises up I think I will always be the same The child from Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Exactly the child You use to know Remember when I break rules Or, did something, said something rude Your Holy Name I always call Begging--- a million times Let not punishment fall unto me Remember the times I silently speak Let my labor be done in purity And have You counted my sigh? When my tomorrow seems out of sight Remember when I almost fail The promise I once made 'twas when first love struck me But died on that scorching eve And still I say, "'twas never meant to be" And so the promise went on All I wish for Is the perfect timing By now, if someone comes along Seal it with Your blessing Let it be known to me I'll gladly take it And forget not my passion Oh, Lord! The dream I ask You to keep May let this be included in Your will But instead, You brought me here Made me professed the noblest profession Yet I ask why Sooner or later I'll understand Remember this child Oh, Lord The same child from Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Who prays for eternal life With You With my beloved ones And, yes! No matter how I grow up Even when age rises up These things I say and do In this poetry I pen the most If there's one thing that has changed I'll never be afraid I'll never run again Let it be the sky or the moon I'll think by now It is You who walks with me
