My Lord my God I shall wait on thee
For your ways are beyond my knowing
My lord my God I shall trust in thee
When the winds of change are blowing
Give to me a patient heart
That I may not despair
Give to me your daily bread
So I can feel you there
Look not on my sin and treachery
Or the evil since my youth
Let me just proclaim
The glory of
The Truth

very nice poem. You might want to edit that line that that says: To get go of pain. I think you wanted to say: To Let go of pain.

You climb up to a cottage

Way up on a hill

You see the poet sitting

By the window sill

You creep up close

Just like a ghost

To see what he is writing

Through the poets window

You see a familiar pain

Deep inside

Strong feelings abide

Teardrops fall like rain

This poem has a bit of a double meaning. "through the poets window" is a line that represents not only the physical window, but also, the window of his soul or feelings. For me, poetry is an expression of real things, real emotion. It's that feeling you get when you read something and you identify with it, you immediately understand what the poet was feeling when they wrote it.

Thank you for making me get my Bible out to look this up. I had to go back a little further to fully understand this passage. Have a blessed day.

Black Keys radio on Pandora is great and most of my current favs come on that channel.
