Spent Poem by Ms Thang

Lord,
Once again I come to you for comfort humbly on bended knees
Begging you to help me be the wife I’m supposed to be.
Lord, I can’t do this by myself, I just don’t have the strength.
Like a rope on a cliff, I’m all outta length.

I can’t stand up without looking down
Like I’m in a rapid river right about to drown.

I look to you to hold my head above water
So I can be there for my son and my daughters

I’m trying to breath, and can’t seem to catch my breath.
But I’ve given all that I’ve got, I have nothing left.

Lord, strengthen me, help me ot weather this storm.
Hold me close to you, Lord, please keep me warm.

I feel so cold, so all alone
In this house full of people
In my once happy home.

My head hangs down
My heart is heavy
About to overwhelm
My emotional levy

Lord I lie before you humble completely
Asking you to please fulfill and complete me.

Held up only by your hand
As I am once again disappointed in man

My body aches and my heart lies hidden
Longing to break through that finish line ribbon

Lord make me the person I don’t think I can be
Someone I respect when in the mirror I see

Allow me to release all the things that I can
And to not depend so much on fallible man

Fill my heart with patience and gratitude
As I continue to call out to you

Give me the strength and stamina too
To do all the things I’m required to do.

Lord, lord, lord, look into my heart
Please fix and mend all my broken parts

Uplift me teach me show me how to be
The best wife and mother that I can possibly be

Teach me patience give me strength
Hold my hand when I’ve got nothing left

My heart, my soul and my life belong to you
And I’m willing to do whatever you tell me to

But lord, please help me, I can’t do it alone
Maintain my sanity, please keep up my home

You are my hope, my strength, and everything I am
You are the reason I haven’t quit, and I’m able to stand

Lord bless me, comfort me, carry me too
Along with my prayers, lord, I bring them to you

Give me hope when I’m hopeless
Strengthen me when I’m weak
Hug me and hold me, wipe my tears when I weep.

I will stand up and stand strong
even when I think I can’t, I vow to go on

but only you lord can give me what I need to maintain
all this I ask you lord, in your son Jesus’ name.

Amen
