Sad



As I sit here looking out of the window,  tears flowing down my face.  I wish I were in a happier place. My mother gone, my grandmother gone. No one to talk to I feel so alone. Lord help me take this sadness away. I pray tomorrow will be a bright and happier day. Tears are steady flowing and my thoughts are are fading slowly. This sadness is overwhelming, Lord I need you to hold me. Please take me in your arms and hold me tight. Dear Lord let me know everything is going to be alright. Before I go to bed tonight, I will pray the Lord  will bring joy and happiness into my life and take away all my misery and strife. Sad and alone I am, as I sit here staring out the window and tears flowing down my face.
