'Pull Me Up...'Oh Lord' Poem by Linda Winchell

Pull me up “Oh Lord” from this emotional muck and mire
Bring me straight unto light of your peace and love.
For my heart is heavy… with the world’s problems seen
For which… I can’t seem to rise above.

It pains me so to hear and read the news
Of how our children and elderly are played.
That they have to suffer at the hands of others
“Lord”… there has to be another way!

Hear my cries for world peace “Oh Lord”
For my belly aches… in the pain…from it all.
My words now seem drenched… in tears of sorrow
While I await… heaven’s call.

Hands tied to help…it seems “Oh Lord”
So I sit and write…to release my pain.
Help me “Lord”…Please help me!
So that I may bask in your loving light again.
