Father in Heaven

Father in Heaven

Father in heaven

How have you been?

My world is collapsing

And my head’s caving in.

Seems I’ve been forgetting,

These devotions of mine—

And I have forgotten,

To give you all my time.

This is not the way,

That I want it be.

If you could remove the fog

To help me clearly see.

Cleanse me my life

And give me a clean heart

I need forgiveness,

And a fresh new start.

Father of mine,

How have you been?

Do you turn your face from me?

When I’m deep in sin?

I want you to know,

That I need you right now.

And when I stumble and fall,

Will you help me up somehow?

Father in heaven,

How have you been?

I know you can hear.

And know your right here.

Father in heaven,

Father of mine.

I wrote this one afternoon after taking a pounding, I believe I had a headache,juggling too many duties and responsibilities. Many things were on my mind, and I just wanted to talk to my "Father in Heaven." As I was typing these thoughts, it just flowed out like a poem. I realized I hadn't posted a poem in a while, and I just wanted to let you in on one of my prayers to my heavenly Father.
