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
He's my friend and confidante
That I tell everything to

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.
