BY YOUR SIDE

A prayer of peace

By your side, my God, I want to rest
There in Your arms I have my perfect peace
I offer You my life, my mind, my soul
Take all of these, my Lord, take them all.

My past, my Lord, is full of miseries
I want to forget it within Your mysteries
Take me, mold me, please hear me now and then
For I am just  human, I can't stand in pain.

By Your side, my God, I want to rest
There in Your arms I have my perfect peace
Send me Your spirit, cleanse me with Your fire
With You by my side, I'm not afraid to fly.

Terrific write Hear My Mind...
though not a religious person I am a spiritual one and could relate well to this magnificent poem...
It made be feel both hopeful and peaceful...
I loved and appreciated the unforced rhyming...especially the use of near and slant rhyming...not an easy thing to pull off..
Great job
