Dear Lord

Many a times we get tired of running this race,
Indeed, to choose this life would mean so much more to face
So many a times when what we've said was a mistake
We look back and wish we didn't our mouths with those words, cake
It should be a joy to help others along the way
Yet sometimes we feel there're way too many for one day
We're taught to rejoice with others when they rejoice,
Yet often times it's easier to weep with those whose eyes are moist
We ought in our dealings with others to do away with partiality
Yet many a times judgements of others leave us guarded in reality
It's true, i won't pretend to be a goodie two shoes
I have my reservations at times while struggling with the don'ts and do's
Perhaps sometimes we've forgotten there's aid from above,
Just like some birds need updraft to soar for example the dove
It's just like us humans to rely on our own stengths
As a result of that we often have to go to great lengths
To find that joy in what we do
To feel that inner peace which makes one cool
Still it's not easy i confess
All i can do is look ahead and do my best
Dear Lord
Help me to find it in myself
To be joyful in doing thy will

A dusty window pane can be frustrating at times
When hope is all you have and nothing as tangible as dimes
When you want to feel, touch and see into the distance
Yet you know you've got to wait longer for that joyous songful cadence
When you look around you and lots are almost there
And realise you're struggling behind in a no hard and fast rule affair
When the lil holes in your heart feel as if they might give way and it, tear
Because some things only appear once in a lifetime of that you're aware
Friend, perhaps you won't hit the nail in the head so quick
Yes I know It's hard for you to kick against those pricks
It all boils down to one thing once again
Dear Lord,
Help me to be patient,
Teach me to wait
