A Place Called Home

God, I know you're there so why am I still so scared? Like a little child Who's run away and now is afraid to come back for fear of being punished I don't know where the time went Each day flies by Sometimes I forget I'm supposed to be with you How terrible am I? I need you so much it hurts Why can't I make time like I used to? I don't even crack The Book unless I'm asked I don't want my daughter to grow up like this She's such a beautiful creature Don't let me ruin her I'm so scared of things things I have no control over Is this just his way of getting to me? I don't understand How can people live their whole lives without ever knowing? How can they muddle through on their own strength? Sometimes I wish it was all over But, once again, I'm too scared of the unknown Remind me every day of your great love and mercy Tell me each day Something I can do for you Let me bring up my little ones in the ways they should go I pray they have more faith than I'll ever know I pray they're not scared of things out of their control I pray they don't follow in my steps But only in yours I pray I pray for lonely souls just show me who I can touch I pray © Hollie, January 9, 2006 How about A Better Place?
