LIFE\u2019S FLEETING THOUGHTS or WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A PERSON LIKE ME, GOD?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I DON\u2019T HAVE A CLUE IN THE WORLD HOW I\u2019M GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE NEW WORLD TO COME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO DO RIGHT AND THEN THERE I GO, AND EVERYTHING COMES UNDONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND THE QUESTION OF \u2018HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE LAYS HEAVY ON MY MIND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COULD BE THAT EVEN NOW I AM PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN EVEN AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019M LOSING HOPE FOR I SEE NO CHANGE HARD AS I MIGHT TRY, I JUST SEEM WORSE THAN BEFORE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOO MUCH OF THE \u2018OLD MAN\u2019 LEFT INSIDE WEARING, TEARING DOWN, MAKING IT AWFULLY SORE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019VE BEEN AT THIS OVER SEVEN DECADES YET NOT ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHT I SO DESPARTELY NEED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LORD, HELP ME, I\u2019M BEGGING YOU, TAKE PITY, BRING ME TO YOU SO AT YOUR SIDE I CAN EVER BE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I CAN\u2019T GET TO YOU; I\u2019VE TRIED AND FAILED SO MANY TIMES OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIGHTING, FALLING DOWN  QUICKLY SOON GROWING WEARY, BODY MIND AND SPIRIT WEAR THIN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I  CAN\u2019T UNDERSTAND WHY IT\u2019S SO EASY THAT I FAIL TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS YOU GAVE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LORD, I DON\u2019T WANT TO HAVE THIS AS MY TESTIMONY I DIE WITH, WHEN I AM LAYING IN MY GRAVE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I CAN\u2019T LEAD OTHERS WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY KNOWING I AM NOT THE PERSON I PROFESS TO BE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NO GOOD WITHIN MY BEING IS SEEN, ITS\u2019 SO OVERWHELMINGING THAT MY SOUL WANTS TO FLEE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I DON\u2019T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE OF THE TORTURE I CAN BEAR  MY MORAL BEING IS DECLINING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRULY THIS IS ABOUT THE LAST THING I MIGHT SAY OR DO FOR SURELY, I AM NOT FAR FROM DYING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT THIS POEM MIGHT DO I\u2019LL NEVER REALLY KNOW BUT I NEEDED TO EXPRESS MYSELF TO YOU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

YOUR WORD TELLS EACH ONE OF US ALL MANKIND INDEED IN THIS LIFE WHAT ONE OUGHT TO DO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPEAK FROM OUR HEARTS TO A LOVING FATHER WHO PROMISES NEVER TO FORSAKE OR  DEPART<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BY PRAYING, YOUR WORD AND OUR WORD COME TOGETHER INSIDE CHAMBERS OF ONE\u2019S HEART<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PITY FROM OTHERS I DESIRE NOT, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN DEMONS DAILY WITH WHICH TO WREST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO MUCH MORE TRAILS, TRIBULATIONS AND HEARACHES THAN I COULD EVER THINK TO EVEN GUESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND AGAIN, I JUST WONDER HOW IN THE WORLD I COULD BE SO SELFISH TO KEEP THINKING OF ME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I MUST DECEASE WHILE YOU MUST INCREASE, NO OTHER WAY WILL THIS SOUL HEAVENS GATES SEE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AT THE CROSSROADS OF \u2018NOW OR NEVER\u2019 IS THE CROSSROAD I VIEW WITHING THIS MORTAL MIND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LORD,YOUR PITY I WOULD ASK, FOR YOU SAID YOU TAKE PITY UPON MANKIND SO NAKED AND BLIND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAY MY EYES SEE, EARS HEAR, MY NAKED BODY BE CLOTHED,  FOCUSED ON THE WAY, TRUTH, THE LIFE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR I KNOW THAT THIS COUILD BE MY LAST DAY HERE ON PLANET EARTH, PERHAPS EVEN THIS NIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
