God's Child(just a vent of thoughts)

Why do I cry sometimes? I guess it's because all the bad things that be going on in the world, All the time I wish there was no such thing called pain, Back in the slavery days that's what most of their songs and prayers meant, But they also meant something else, something that was much greater than freedom or wealth. It was faith, and the love of God, That's what they believed to keep them strong and proud. But faith is something I don't have If things don't go my way, my life goes down And the only thing I know how to do then is frown I'm no longer wearing God's child's crown I'm wearing depression and pain's long dreary gown Walking around most of my life with my head bowed down Thinking to myself what to do now cry or just let things go? What do you do when your life's full of sorrow Who to talk to when I can't put my pain in words Who to lean on when my pain really hurts No one I guess... But wait there is God, He can help me He can make me strong I know people like "How are you supposed to lean on Him?" I know this sounds odd but just close your eyes And reach for within His hand Trust me...No lie He will be there to hold you and be there for you He leaves no abandoned child if you're really for Him Don't pout don't cry don't let faith pass you by Take a minute to think it out I mean where would you be without God? He's the Father, He won't let you down He'll help you get back on your feet And pick up your crown, turn your frown into a smile He'll pick your head up when it's bowed down Don't know how to move on? He'll show you how And say to you "Who's weak now? And you will say to Him...strong and true... "Not God's child!" LaLa Curse 5/25/05
