Understanding Help

Understanding Help

Dear Father in Heaven
I Guess You Knew I'd Be Back
Of Course It's Been a While
But You Do Know All the Facts

And You Know I'm in Trouble
Or You Wouldn't Be Hearing from Me
The Thing That Has Me Puzzled,
Is Why Can't I Just "Be"

What Is it I Need to Do
That Will Give Me Peace of Mind?
And Why Can't I Understand?
Is the Answer So Hard to Find?

Please Give Me Some Understanding
About What I Am Doing Here.
Then Maybe I Can Learn to Cope
With Things That Cause Me Fear

Fear Is Only Fear at Best
That I Do Understand
But Somehow I've Lost My Control
And I Need a Helping Hand

So I'll Thank You, Lord, in Advance,
Because I Know Deep down in My Heart
You I Can Always Count on
And You Won't Let Me Fall Apart

Living presents its challenges and it looks like you've had your fair share. It seems faith helps subdue some of the pain and we find our lives changing. Your poem is a heart felt expression of what most of us feel at some time or another. Good write. Allan
