Tears fall down my cheeks as I try to sleep.
The clock beeps;
it's 4 A.M
I shove the blankets off,
and fall on my knees.
Mama always taught me right from wrong;
she told me to ask Him for help in times of need.
I needed Him now;
I wanted Him here with me.
I clasp my hands in humble prayer
and say my usual jolt,
Please bless my family, friends and help me to sleep.
I end my prayer with a silent Amen,
and stand to sleep again.
I stop in mid-air and realize that He's not there,
He got sick of hearing the same thing said by me.
I kneel down to begin again and start my prayer.
I ask forgiveness for all I've done,
and tell my Lord I'm sorry,
I pour my heart into my words,
which isn't very easy for me.
I tell my Father
I'm having trouble with the emotions inside me;
they're too much
I tell Him;
I ask Him to take them from me.
I talk slowly,
and think of what I'm saying,
and soon I'm crying,
as a weight lifts, the weight of the world,
from my shoulders,
and I feel the world's pain no more.
I know it will be back;
it is my burden to bear,
but it is nice to know
that when the burden becomes too much,
I have a Father and friend who will be there.
It is always nice to know someone is there
if I'll take the time to talk to Him,
He'll answer back.

Jul 21, 2008 | Thanks for the poem it really meant a lot to me just now when I read it. It is such a blessing to know that God is always there for us and that He never leaves us or forsakes us.(Hebrews13:5) Thanks for that reminder.
