Dagger Poem by Danny Speicher

God, I feel it again... uncertainty
That cauderizing dagger to my heart
The burning, hot steel of anger and fear
Brutal... tearing my soul slowly apart

I called to You in my hour of doubt
When others failed, I trusted You, alone
I cried out to You when I had been crushed
And, in that moment, Your grace brightly shone

But, each new day brings a heart of sadness
Longing for those simpler days as a child
Each night's dreams bring images full of fear
With each vision my spirit is reviled

I come to You, again, praying for peace
Because, alone, this heart can't take much more
My sorrow, it exceeds my joy today
These deepest fears are too strong to ignore

Lord, I'm needing a hug from my Father
And an arm around my shoulder to guide
All I want is to lay down... quit the race
And there's no friend in whom I can confide
