My Child

A conversation between the Lord and I.

I’ve tried, Lord; I’ve tried

I’ve tried to take heed

In your mercy and grace

To follow your lead

 

I’m afraid that I’m lost

My ground, it gave way

It gave in beneath me

My soul has been frayed

 

Don’t worry, my child, for I count your tears

Don’t worry, my child, there is nothing to fear

 

For I made the world, the darkness and light

How could I not tend to your life?

 

I need you, O LORD

I want to believe

That You’ll hold me close

That You’ll never leave

 

Though I can be foolish

 As I yield to the lie

That I don’t deserve

Much more than to die

 

Trust in Me, child

Abide in My love

A love so abounding

A love from above

 

Come to me, child

You of little faith

Come, lean in close

Rest in my embrace

 

You know me, O LORD

Each hair on my head

Each thought on my mind

Before its been said

 

Your love, it’s amazing

So strong and so true

Though I feel I may cry

As I’ve not been made anew

 

So cry, child, cry

Cry as you may

But do not forget

This beautiful day

 

For you will look back

In a time of great might

And remember when I, the LORD

Shed grace on your life

I am in love with this! It flows so perfect, and it is very personal feeling. I really like this poem a lot. The way you have a conversation but keep it in a structure and rhyming form is great. Keep Writing!
