Tell me, what's wrong child

Tell me, tell me what's wrong child

What's wrong dear friend

You know you can count on me

I'm here through the very end

Tell me, tell me why child

Why are you falling down

You know you can lean on me

I'm offering to help you up off the ground

Tell me, tell me where child

Where are you going from here

You know you can tell me

I'm trying to lead you towards me, dear

Tell me, tell me who child

Who can you turn to that will protect you

You know you can count on me

I'm right here for you to trust, it's true

Tell me, tell me now child

"Who" you ask "are you to us"

You know the truth

I'm here, you know I am Jesus

Author's Note: I wrote this because I wanted to write from a different perspective, and I chose the lord's perspective. I felt upset and poetry helps me get my feelings out. This poem goes out to @owainglyn, who was always there brightening my day with his comments and his poetry. I'm trying not to cry right now, but its not working. He is such an inspiration to just be around and he is like a grandfather to me(no offense :') @owainglyn, you aren't that old) because my grandfathers both passed away, one died before I was born, the other I was really close to.

@owainglyn, you mean a lot to me because you have been a candle in the darkness and brightened my bad days with your comments. You will be ok, I promise you that, just allow God to carry you through this, don't try to fight this battle all on your own. So this poem goes out to you as well as this story I read when I was younger that absolutely touched my heart and soul. You might recognize it. Thank you, and God bless you all. :')

Footprints in the sand

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along

the beach with the Lord.

Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene, he noticed

two sets of footprints in the sand,

one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his life

there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the

very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,

you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most

troublesome times in my life there is

only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when I needed you most

you would leave me."

The Lord replied "My precious, precious child,

I love you and would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints in the sand,

it was then that I carried you."
