Lord… br br I’m tortured! Everything became vanity; br Though I get what I want, I’m not satisfied. br Nothing can fill the empty spaces in me. br It feels like long ago I’ve already died! br br I come to seek the lost joy I once possessed br And the stolen smiles that are kept from my face. br I want to be happy, not just to be stressed. br I long the peace of an eternal embrace. br br My feet became weary from running away br Towards the falling sun of my horizon. br I have taken paths that made me go astray. br O GOD, save me from this dark unknown region! br br Though I’ve shown stubbornness, please show me Your mercy. br Be kind to me O Lord though I’ve turned my back br From Your wisdom to this world’s philosophy! br Now my Lord, Your truth I never want to lack. br br I don’t want bitter waters to flow again br Through these eyes You gave to see your power. br Let me never forget that I’m just a man br Under Your grace, authority, and scepter. br br Amen. br br www.poemhunter.comobed-dela-cruz br www.poetfreak.compoetObedDelaCruz br www.obed-dela-cruz.blogspot.com br www.princeobed.multiply.com br br Copyright © 2010 by Obed Dela Cruz br br (May 24,2010; Marikina City) br br (This poem is written by OBED DC.
