I Thought That I Could Make It On My Own Poem by david lessard

I thought that I could make it on my own-
now I know, that isn't so-
I give it up to you,
please take it and shape it, into something new...

Your power is forever, not just tomorrow,
I've nowhere else to turn, you see-
I trust in you, I think you always knew,
just what it was, that troubled me.

I've asked for no help,
and I've not recieved it,
Now I ask and hope,
that you can hear my call,
not just for me, but for everyone
that suffers-
so we all can gather strength
and stand up tall.

So we can know the love and joy
we're missing,
so we can share the happiness that's due,
so we get the peace that passeth understanding,
so we'll recieve the dreams that generate from you!
