Inside I Am With You Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Inside with You, My Lord.
Inside to shoulder and release tensions.
Putting aside my own intentions and stubborn pride.
I'm inside with You.
This I will not deny!

Inside with You, My Lord.
No Longer plotting to fake escapes.
That take me no where,
At all.
I have fallen to get up to stumble.
To stand again...
To feel incomplete.
To crawl was what I needed.
I needed to hear myself plead!

Inside with You, My Lord.
I can not deny I have criticized You.
Slandered and blasphemized Your name.
How insane could I have been?
And You still held me close...
Until I felt You inside me from within.

I cried and cried until that day I found You.
And myself.
Renewed with a different attitude,
Of 'things'
I thought would attract love.
But I didn't have that.

Only You are there...
To provide all my desires.
Inside I am with you, My Lord.
That is so true.
Motivated and inspired to reach for heights.
I am happy I recognize that,
At this time like no other...
In my life!
The one I live and like.
