Long Time Gone

Folder: 
really old stuff

Dear God,

I'm sorry it's been so long;

I guess I forgot about you,

Until everything went wrong.



You see, she's due in 2 months,

The baby I expected;

And today I picked up my Bible,

That until now i neglected.



It said that you'll forgive me,

But I find it hard to believe;

I'm ashamed to think of how long it's been,

Since I've worn my faith on my sleeve.



Lord, I admit I'm lonely,

And I cry every night;

But every time my heart wants to change,

My head puts up a fight.



Well, I remembered those times i spent as a child,

Kneeling at my bed;

But now I spend every night,

Wishing I were dead.



A pastor told me,

That my life could be changed with one prayer;

But Lord, I'm scared,

Do you really care?
