Love Poem: I Close My Eyes

I Close My Eyes

When the world I live in is spinning out of control
I seek you Lord I grab on and take hold
I close my eyes and picture a place
Of your words of truth and sufficient grace
I run to you like child with arms open wide
To take refuge in your light darkness cannot hide
You swoop me up like Father protecting his own
Whispering softly you are my child and never alone
My face stained with tears of agony and disgrace
Are gone in an instant removed and replaced
Peace beyond measure and love surely abounds
My spirit wells up in me my feet on solid ground
I open my eyes now with new faith and hope
Knowing your love will carry me even when I can't cope.
