I Was Alone
She wrote,
One is always alone.....it is the way of life,
of the world...alone with yourself.....
I write,
I was alone, amongst the crowd,
and it was good and it was bad,
I was happy, at times oh so sad
I walked the valley in the heat of day
stopped to rest, watching others run and play
the sun beat down, faint and weak was I
it was only me, punished from the sky
Then I found shade, rested my weary head
wondered why only I, had so much to dread
as if invisible I wandered then in the cold
will it always be thus, until I am old?
Gone are the times of childhood days
warmth, laughter, no worries to phase
Parent's to care, provide for my needs
no longer so, to the Lord I make my pleas
Darkness descends on my days and hours
it seems my world is ruled by it's powers
fear grips my soul, doubt clouds my vision
each moment is lived in vast indecision
I cried and I sought for help in these hours
it seemed there was for me, no Higher Power
collapsed and bent low, in desolate grief
the hour of decision, suddenly brought relief
It was then I looked back on the path I had been
in the shadows and dark places, I could see Him
my life was saved, time and again though I knew not
It was He who kept me from death's dark blot
Though I was alone, perplexed and distraught
I know now that He was never away from my heart
It was the darkness and treachery of men
who led me to believe I was bonded in sin
Now I see Light in the darkest of days
I know that He shall teach me of His ways
when pressed down with burdens too heavy to bear
I pray, Oh Dear Lord, you will meet me there
~~~~~~
Written for and dedicated to 'R'
and if the words speak to you,
receive them to yourself too
