When I was young I used to pray
“Please help me Lord, show me the way ”
And then as I began to age
My life soon turned another page.
I spoke to God quite frequently
It seemed we shared true empathy
At least that is what I believed
And do not think I was deceived.
Now that I’m old I understand
Our God is always close at hand
He is our comfort and great friend
Remaining so until the end !
