A Child Calls

Try in your heart to write again

Try in your heart to believe again

Those were the times when Lord you seemed so near

…and now I cannot feel you

For my thoughts invade my heart

And, and I cannot discern what is coming from you Lord or the dreadful serpent

I need my eyes to open

My thoughts to burn in a fiery pit

My heart to feel

My body to feel free

To feel at peace like the waves in the sea

Lord, speak to me and let me know your will for my life

For I can no longer stand this feeling of nothing and of not feeling needed

-Shaquana S. Watson
