don’t lose me (poem)

don’t lose me Jesus

i can’t depend on myself to stay found

just don’t lose me

in seeing what i see behind me

i see that You are carrying me swiftly

a child in your arms

i grab tight around your neck

i can’t do what you ask of me

You know my weakness so you carry me gently

don’t lose me Jesus

i can’t depend on myself to stay found

just don’t lose me

About lamehousewife

poetry, articles, thoughts, and quotes... on a quest to be authentic in my motherhood, sisterhood, and daughterhood, but i can tend to become Juvenalian sometimes, maybe in writing but also in life, reading Swift's "A Modest Proposal" as if i were hearing a friend speak to me about the how ridiculous some ideas can become, especially when they begin to drift into reality, mocking all of us really... i identify with Mary Magdalene, James, and Peter and am extremely grateful for that woman who said, "Yes!"...oh and i can be pretty lame...blessings to you, dear reader...pray for a single mother, her children, and the father of her children today!

    I know this line from within: “i can’t depend on myself to stay found.” You’ve expressed it perfectly.
