Cradle Me, by Brian R. Velasquez Subscribe to rss feed for Brian R. Velasquez

You once held me
Swayed me to and fro
Comforted me to sleep
And promised never to let go

Here I am disheartened & broken
Those comforting days have past
As if you had never embraced me
I feel as if I always come last

Cradle me, Oh God
Hold me in your arms once more
Save me from myself
I can’t do this anymore

I’m falling backwards
Returning to my old ways
I don’t know what to do
Only with your help I keep it at bay

It is unbearably hard to resist
My strength is fading with time
The past haunts and tempts me
This mountain, alone, I can’t climb

Cradle me, Oh God
Hold me as you did before
Rescue me from myself
I can’t go on anymore

I really liked how you have written this. I can really relate to this poem as there have been times when I had to solely rely on god to get me through a hard, emotional time in my life.
