 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

If my heart is not your home...


I have called out your name a thousand times
but only silence greets every word
I have prayed that my truth is the real truth I see
and sometimes it all seems absurd.
I have searched for my faith and suffered great wounds
just to know there's a light
but always darkness covers my eyes
then daylight slips into night.
Why will you not answer… what more can I do…
why must I feel this way?
but you don't hear me and I am alone
no matter how many times I might pray.
But I will still keep on calling… calling your name
when there is silence and I am alone
for I have nothing… nothing at all
if my heart is not your true home?
