'Oh Dear God' Poem by Linda Winchell

“Oh Dear God”

“Oh Dear God I pray to Thee”
Please, ”My Lord”, hear my prayers.
That someone who might view this pain
Will show me that, they even care.

They must see the hunger for You
And know of my thirst.
They must see of these needs
All last and of first.

“Therefore, I cry out to You,
My Lord above! ”
Send to me now
All of Your healing love.

That I might too
Know of pains ease.
I pray, ” My Lord”
I beg You, “Please! ”

I know I’m not alone in this
But I can’t hear but cries of my own voice.
In prayers in which, to You, ” Oh Lord”
You are the worlds and my
Only Grace Forever choice.

You’ve promised never to leave me alone!
You’ve said that You would always be there for me!
Oh hear me, ” My Lord”, when I say
That I need so much more of Thee!
