''Patience''
"Patience"
I lay in bed, I tossed....I turned
Trying to put my thoughts together
I knew that God wouldn't leave me
Nor could His love for me, be severed
I just couldn't understand it though
For I prayed and pleaded for so long
Was something the matter…. I didn't know
Did I sin or do something so wrong
I try not to get all puffed with pride
I help people whenever I can
When someone is lost…I try to guide
Leading them to fruitful land
Still I pondered…. I tossed, I turned
Something just didn't seem right
I chase darkness away from me
And try to live only in the light
So…. Why was God ignoring me
Has He turned His head away
What can I do to make amends
I will ask Him again, when I pray
Maybe soon…. He will answer me
Then let me know of my fate
Maybe it's "Patience" He's trying to teach
Telling me to "Be still" and wait!

Psalm 33:20
Our soul waiteth for the Lord…He is
Our help and our shield.
