Poem 096 I love to hide away awhile

I love to hide away awhile, from the eyes of daily cares, where in the setting day, my smile, from within a humble prayer

Found within my solitude, the disappearance of a tear in my pleas to find forgiveness, where none but God can hear I know I’ve walked in weakness, I have fell and failed again and it seems, no matter how I try, There’s times, I’ve given in

Please hold me, in your love, for I need, strength to keep away from the darkness and the shadows, that somehow finds me, through the day So, I bow this head, face to the dust, and veil these eyes in shame I stand alone, in my self disgust, for where I’ve walked in vain

God, I pray, down upon these knees, it is here I shall stay you know, I tried to walk this road, alone and still I can’t find my way

Please hold me, in your love
