Hold Me Up Lord Poem by Rik Bertrand

I wonder about life every day,
My thoughts drift to and fro.
I do not understand my heart,
Maybe it is time to go.

I mingle with gods words,
And I pray that he is with me.
I lower my head and cry,
Hoping no one else can see.

Time takes its toll on all,
For me it's taken a little more.
I wish for no pity or well wishes,
It is time for a new décor.

I wonder about life every day,
I am tired and I should go.
Time has bid me farewell,
And I have lost that earthen glow.

(Then the lord comes up behind me
And he takes a hold so strong.
He says: It is not your time son,
You have not composed your song")

I tell Him "Hold me up my lord,
Hold me and do not let me fall,
Give me strength, for to carry on,
Until I hear your call."

The lord is the all mighty,
And his words are full of grace.
He said "You are the strong one,
You will win true life's race.
