Believe, My Child Poem by Helen C Capan

It's not right!
It's not fair!
Did You see
what happened there?
Did You see, Lord?
Did You see?

In poisonous poise
They came to me;
Their fingers point;
They're all against me.
Hiding mouths
Of twisted rope
Turning heads,
In shame, I hope.

Do You see, Lord?
Do You see?

I cry in anger
And in rage.
It's so unfair;
the war they wage.
For my part
In all of this,
Forgive me now,
So you may bless.

I've seen, My Child,
What they've done to you.
I'm outraged at
Their poisonous poise.
But their dark souls
I'd love to save.
So let Me work
For you today.

Look to Me
And not to them.
Let Me love you
Where you are.
Give Me your anger
And your rage.
I'll settle with them
In My Own Way.
The day will come
When they must choose.

Fast, My Child,
And pray today.
Believe, My Child,
There'll be a day
When you will walk
Within the shade
Where breezes live
To give you wings
That you may soar
Above your dreams
Which I've instilled
Within your heart.

I see, My Child,
I have seen.
Believe, My Child,
There'll be a day
When you will walk
Within the shade
Where breezes live
To give you wings
That you may soar
Above your dreams.
