Help me Lord
now, after a lifetime of sin
I fall to my knees in prayer
I see your body, bloodied and torn
oh, Lord I helped put you there
I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused
for the hurt, the suffering, the woe
help me Lord get back to you
you are the light, this I know
when I’ve been down, so forlorn
the tears flowing from my heart
I thought that I would not survive
but you were there right from the start
you never let me down, Lord
I’ve known all through the years
your loving arms comforting me
as you wiped away my tears
but I scoffed at your existence
laughed off your warm embrace
I put aside my faith in you
in exchange for the merry chase
but you, Lord, in your loving way
stayed closely by my side
never faltering in your love
while that love I tried to hide
as I look up at your image now
and recall that hard endeavor
I pray to you and promise
to stay true to you forever

Hi Dee,
It's nice to read this after having written what I wrote (though I must say that if I had read this before, I wouldn't have written anything because everything would seem empty). This is a very good poem, really nicely written (as usual
) and your style, as usual, shows us what you were feeling at the moment you wrote this piece. I should come here more often at least to read what you write which is always good!!!
All the best,
Maria -
Yes, a prayer.
Faith is an elusive thing for some of us but words like this can make one pause and reconsider. Thanks.

A beautiful write, very inspring and soothing, about the importance of meditation and prayer, where God listens and speaks to us in his always comforting voice of nature, love and harmony, faith and trust in His Ways
Thank you for sharing a very gentle and heartwarming write, Dee. All the best ~ JuanAnguas

wow...i havent read your stuff in awhile! but i remember why youre on my favorites. this was wonderful. first off perfectly smooth, you used just the right words. i love how humble this is. so much the time we get caught up in our selves and forget how sinful and unable we are. i know i have. i get so wrapped up in my problems that i try to solve that i forget that God is right there ready to take the burden off of me. and when i remember, i always feel better. thanks for sharing, it made me remember. very very good write.

Wow, this is an amazing poem or prayer should i say. i know how many must feel at times... unknowingly straing away from your God and trying to get on the path to your true lord. nice work catz.
-
pretty!
this is really pretty...many people can relate to the struggle to find God...good write
katie -
excellent!
So many times we falter in our beliefes for what we see and our human wants.
Desires have that way of pulling us off our tracts in life to be something we are not, or doing something we know we should not.
But having an understanding of truth will always bring us back to our varied paths.
Well spoken my friend! -
You have been missed, Dee,
Been a while since I saw a post with the "catz" brand on it, but coming back with this one was a grand entrance if ever I witnessed one. Your repentant and graceful poem is one that many of us have lived and it is refreshing to see someone with the courage to make no bones about their return to faith. Like Hugh, I would never have guessed you needed to be contritous, but then, we all need to be in one way or another. I wish the best for you and hope all is well. Thanks for posting a fine piece of the inner thoughts of catz for all to see.
Cheers.

Dear Dee,
I would never have imagined you as a past or present sinner.
From my knowledge of you, I am convinced that when Our Lord comes to judge and forgive, He will have an easy job on His Hands with Dee Garner.
Nevertheless, your contrite and devout poem is full of sincerity, beauty and simplicity which I applaud.
With much love and hugs, XXX Hugh.
