Heavenly Father Poem by Faith Poeter

Heavenly Father

Im down on my knees
Begging you please
Take away all the voices
And all my bad choices
I know it's been years
But I'm drowning in tears
From all of the sorrow
I can't carry into tomorrow
Please take all my burdens
And keep me from hurting
I can't do this on my own
I'm tired of feeling all alone
Day after day only feelings of despair
Keeping feelings inside I can no longer bare
So much anger so much pain
Nothing in life left to gain
All of the sudden I'm hearing these voices
Pushing me to make bad choices
Go hit that bubble or go take a shot
It feels like everyone has just forgot
Starting each day smoking or drinking
Now once again I'm slowly sinking

If I disappeared would anyone notice
God said my child I need you to focus
Get up and we will win this battle together
For I am your father forever and ever
I am yours and you are mine
I've been beside you this whole time
All of the choices you made in the past
Have now been forgiven just as you asked
I have filled your heart with joy and peace
A special feeling that will never cease
All the addictions that you've struggled with
Have now been spoken out of existence
No more sorrows and no more tears
All of the burdens you've carried for years
Now rest on my shoulders
And are no longer your boulders
No longer there weighing you down
Keep that chin up you are heaven bound


As I reply I can only be honest
I will live for you just as I promised
As you have asked I came as I am
Praying for me that you have a plan
A plan that includes me being a vessel
And excludes all the demons that ive had to wrestle
For years I have searched in all the wrong places
Now I finally rest in all of your graces
Right beside you is where I belong
You were right there waiting all along
Thank you for drying all of my tears
From all of the burdens I've carried for years
Thank you for taking all of the sorrows
I no longer carry them into tomorrow
