The Lost Child
Lord from my youth I never had a healthy mind,
That’s when I searched for answers and found I was blind,
Living in a world of insanity day after day,
I was locked up and didn’t know how to pray,
Over medicated I was as the walking dead,
Not knowing reality and having a foggy head,
As time went by I began to change and see,
I was turning back into the person I was meant to be,
The day did come I was sound and sane,
I was mentally Ill there was no one to blame,
Soon my world turned to darkness as black as night,
I had no spirit or will to fight,
I dreaded each day as if I were cursed,
Crying myself to sleep as if my heart would burst,
Back on medication some hope I found,
Soon I was back up with both feet on the ground,
With that behind me I put my Illness on a shelf,
And asked dear Lord can you pray for those who can’t pray for themselves,
Mental Illness it hits you like a brick,
Who could imagine your mind could make you so sick?
Lord bless those with mental Illness and frail minds,
Open there eyes so they don’t remain blind,
Grant speedy recovery and may they know,
That you are there Jesus and your graces do flow.
