Dear Lord, when pain is so intense
I turn to you for my defense
And beg You please to hold my hand
To bring me peace and understand.
There is nought else that one may crave
But act the hero and be brave,
The answer comes from God above
Who’s good and kind and full of love !
I have never found myself depressed
Tis like facing the world half-dressed
I have never understood the term
But I suppose I will have to learn.
A foolish thought that I cannot shake
Oh days to come, please give me a break
I can’t imagine time that is lost
As an exception, what is the cost ?
I pledge today I shall do my best
To laugh and smile and pass every test
To keep my spirits pleasant and charmed
Present no reason to be alarmed!
I’m sure there is so much to say
To help us all save every day
With plans in place to find a way
To thank the Lord without delay !
Long time ago, I remember well
There was a tale the old timers tell
Of a man who rode this way one day
Just passing through not meaning to stay
When a shy young beauty he did see
A sweet image for his fantasy.
Well the story goes, they got on great
While the rest of it was left to fate
The two young folks seemed to fall in love
Quite like the wish each was dreaming of
Remember when love has a good start
Most times it pays to follow the heart !
