Do You Trust Me?

I can’t protect you but I can hold out my hand,
You may not always agree with me but I hope you at least understand.

Your strength is what many hope for,
You are no longer the guy I once knew before.

Past, pain, and patience are your daily battles,
It always seems as though you are going through never-ending trials.

Your mind toys with you even at your best,
While you try to make sense of these unnatural tests.

But whenever you begin to doubt or feel defeat, look to your left.
I don’t have many friends but for those few, I will give my all until there is nothing left.

Not for credit and not for me,
But because I know what it feels like to be mentally empty.

You must not give up on me now,
You are one of the reasons I am able to wear this smile.

It is time to take a chance again with Thee,
So I ask you….Do you trust me?

My Father’s Child

We have had our differences in the past, but my father you will always be. No matter how hard you try, there are just some things you cannot hide from me. We share the same blood, as well as some of the same destructive habits. The same need to hide our true battles from the world runs through our veins. I see it eating at the core of your sanity. You say you are fine when honestly your heart is slowly dying inside. Should you stay or go constantly circulates in your mind. The deception and betrayal from loved ones corners you. Anger builds in your heart as trust slowly leaves it. Though we are hundreds of miles away from each other, your pain has become mine. I wish there was a way I could still your troubling heart but I know that is a job only the most High can achieve. I hate to see you in those moods because I know the damage they can create. They may not seem like much until it is too late. I been at that low point and seeing you there would be too much for me to bare. I love you with all my heart and I will continue to pray for your restoration. Please don’t lose hope and always keep your faith close. The enemy is just busy right now, but I know your victory will soon come. You are a strong and courageous man. I am my father’s child, so if I can overcome my struggles, there is no doubt in my heart that you can too. Remember “weeping may ensure for a night, but joy comes in the morning”- Psalms 30:5…I love you Dad.
