Lord, let me trust you
I have no other name
There is no other power...
But you’re not my God by default-
I didn’t look around and shop for the best
Or choose the deity on special
I am your Child!
Lord, let me trust you
I certainly do when things are good
God is good, I cry!
All is well with me!
I give a smile to those whom I meet
There’s a spring in my step
I am your Child!
Lord, let me trust you
Be my anchor, and chain, and ship
Be everything to me
Fill me up until I am removed, replace me
Then I can hide in you, my shelter
You can shield me from the awful thing
I am your Child!
Lord, let me trust you
Even now, when I accuse you of not caring
The pain is so great, my spirit is speechless
There is no open door or way to escape
The train is coming and I’m on the tracks
Don’t tease me like this, free me now!
I am your Child!
Lord, let me trust you
I don’t understand
I don’t like what’s happening
But, you are the Giver of all good things
Hold me now, tightly, lovingly, gently
Don’t tell me it’ll be alright, show me!
I am your Child!

Very lyrical write; a throbbing pulse through each line. To me, it had a rhythm and flow, very similar to a hymn in my mind. The fourth stanza really grasped me the most. Very relatable, “Lord, let me trust you
Even now, when I accuse you of not caring
The pain is so great, my spirit is speechless” Very powerful words. That last stanza is phenomenal. “Hold me now, tightly, lovingly, gently/ Don’t tell me it’ll be alright, show me!/ I am your Child!” Very grasping and impacting. Excellent write!

Wondrous work ...
It simply made me sit here in awe ... The refrain works so good, you know ... I am your Child! A simple statement of acknowledgement and deep love.
You truly are his Child. Be filled with his Love and Hope, Poet.
Peace and Joy to you.
Love
Myra

a good piece of poetry you have penned - the way i see it is most turn to god when they are in need rather than turning to him in the happy times
thank you for entering and good luck
