God knows



         As I lay in bed,
               I can't seem to sleep...
 Thoughts race thru my head,
        Like you wouldn't believe!!!
  Still the sun rises, so I jump to my feet....
   Am I really so motivated, or is it routine.
  Some days it feels like it's harder to stand,
Brief moments I question, how strong I am?
   And with tears in my eyes, I look to the sky,
   Immediately I hear my child don't cry....
I scream God, why would you let me get lost down this road?
 He says, child you can't blame me for the choices you've chose.
    I say God, I'm not sure I even know who I am.
  He says make changes in your life, you need a new plan!
   He says make sure you take life only day by day,
  So when I look to my future I always pray,
   That God will continue to walk with me,
  Because he knows my struggle, and knows I believe,
          That yesterday is a memory left in our past,
       That today is a gift that will be gone all to fast,
       Tomorrow isn't promised, believe what I say......
                DON'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED, AND REMEMBER TO            
                        PRAY!!!!!
            LOVE ALL OF YOU GOD BLESS
