Cradle Me

RSS

By 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.
