How many times
Has poetry saved my life
Over the years
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Try walking in my shoes
Try living my life
Try having my problems

Guess what
I bet you wouldn't last
5 seconds

So until  you have lived my life
Walked in my shoes
Or Delt with my problems

You bully can just shut your mouth
I don't want to hear it

They came from a broken family
Violence
Drinking
Child abuse

Their parents fight all the times
Father wants "special" treatment
From his daughter
Sometimes he hungers
For his son
And when it is not father
Mother wants these special times
With the kids

Why
What have these children done
To be treated like this

Brother and Sister
Wish to run away
Leave and never return
To this dreadful place

But for now
They must hang on
As best they can
Drawing strength from each other

Footprints in the sand
Showing me where I've been
All I have been through
To become the person I am

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
You are my life
You have brought me
Through life's greatest strife

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
You are my Lord
You are the one
I'll praise and adore

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
You are my king
When I have fallen
You lifted me

Bind us together Lord
Bring us together as one
We are a broken nation
We need you

Your Love
Your mercy
Your grace
Bind us together Lord
So we may love you

Goodnight
Sweet dreams
May nightmares pass you by

Cuddle up
Close your eyes
Drift away in slumber

Dream of good thing
Flow upon the river off the mind

Goodnight
Sweet dreams
Dear child of mine
