Always (Poem)
Always
Sometimes I am ashamed of the past
Sometimes I am dismayed by the future
Sometimes I am weak in here and now
Yet, Always, You are with me
The trouble of my friends burden me
The plight of my lover overwhelms me
The corruption of my enemy enrages me
Yet, Always, You are with Me
Always in the silence
Always in the noise
Always in the peace
Always in the chaos
It is my ears that can’t hear
It is my eyes which can’t see
It is my heart that is cold
It is my soul that is dying
Yet, Always, You are with me
Grant mercy when I need it,
enforce discipline when I hate it,
and engulf me in Your love when I am empty and barren
Always, Father, You are with me
Help me to be with You
Always
