Oh! please, please, hear me, listen
See me, shackled to the dirt
Won’t you loose these chains, that bind me
To a life, of pain and hurt
Sing me sweetly, to my slumber
In the darkness of the night
As my nightmares tear asunder
The resolve, left in my fight
Help me, hold it all-together
As the reins, slip from my hands
Tears of sorrow, wet the leather
Only You, Lord, understand
If You show me, what’s before me
Will I fear the broken truth
Will a wave of hope, restore me
To the glory of my youth
Am I worthy, of a mention
As in awe, of You, I stand
Will you part my sea of sorrow
Smite my giants, with Your hand
All the rapture of the living
Lies, entombed, among the dead
The promise of the Gold to be
Lies sleeping, in the lead
As a candle, burning brightly
Is mis-shapen, over time
Will You hold me all- together
In Your tenderness divine
Though, I Thirst and I am Hungry
In a Soul, that’s growing, cold
I’d not sell You, for their Silver
Nor, betray You, for their Gold
When we feel down sometimes for no apparent reason, or for all the reasons in the world we need a prayer that means more to us than those we’ve been taught to recite by others …
THIS ONE IS MINE …

A favorite of mine…when I first read this it touched me so deeply that I hand wrote it so I could read it whenever I wished. I keep it on my art table and read it often…it still gets to me every single time. THAT is a mark of a great piece, to me anyway. Beautiful.
