Questions

Questions

Fears assail within, without
And words do not console
My troubled mind,
My anxious thoughts,
That churn within my soul.

Explanations do not calm
These feelings, insecure.
I cry all day,
No sleep at night
Oh, how can I endure?

How can I face the world out there
With puffy eyes so red?
A frozen smile,
So tense, on edge...
If I could stay in bed!

Oh Lord, how can I live through this?
Oh, when will skies be clear?
How can my love
Bring so much pain
And words bring so much fear?

What is it that I fear so bad?
Why can' t I be at peace?
The words so few
Confusing me
Oh, when will crying cease?

I need your peace, Lord. Fears assail
And answers I can' t find.
I pray for peace
Within my soul
Since I feel so, so blind.

Help us to understand ourselves,
To share with open love;
Be sensitive,
And clear, concise,
With wisdom from above.
