Please Carry Me

Please Carry Me

A Poem by Debra Stevens Edwards (debby)

Please Carry Me

How long can I take this pain
when will all this hiding end.

My laughter sounds so hollow
I've faith in God He is my friend.

I know all things in Your Time
and according to Your Will.

So once again I wear a smile that
does not quite reach my eyes.

I will again pretend, to set your
mind at ease. While my soul cries.

To God I pray please heal me if it's
your will or give me strength to live.

My children they still need me and I
Have a lot in me that I want to give.

Please Dear Lord I need You to make
It through this, please carry me today.

Thank You God for Blessing my life the
ways You always do Teaching me Your way.

For sending Your beloved Son and all the
things You have done and will continue too.

Just one more thing before I go, I'm sending
You something else, Love from me to You.

Nicely written, well phased, looks like another winner for you. Some might talk about the rules of poetry, but I've never been one who worried about the rule unless it's for a contest. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Thank You for sharing.

Make sure you capitilize all the "he" and "him" words in your poem/prayer. You did for some of them but not for all. Other than that I really liked it. Great job :)

Great prayer! There are some stumbling points as far as rhyme and meter. Starting out with seven-six-seven..but the next line (4) has eight. I've never been one to care much for keeping everything completely in-step, though, especially if one wishes to send a more meaningful message (Love). I like this and I'm sure your girls do as well!
