BATTLING WITH LONELINESS
Battling life is not easy
I am battling to live daily
Battling more for others
Than for myself
My faith is in my Lord God
Who is my Guide and Protector
Best Friend and Helper
Yet there are times
Like tonight
When I need someone to talk to
A loving and caring soul
Like my beloved, rare woman
Or an angel from God's Heaven
I am not always like this
My faith in my God is great
Yet there are nights like this one
When I need a shoulder
On which to lean and cry away
The tortures of the day
And the worries of the future
And the tragedies of the past
My beloved, rare woman is missing
And I am all alone
Even though my faith in God
Is saving me from annihilation
Yet I am also a human
And need my beloved, rare woman
To ward off my loneliness
O that God becomes more merciful
And makes me more courageous
Patient and stronger
So that I can battle this life
Of being all alone
In heart, mind and body
O that my Great God listens
And gives me a solution
That ends this terrible misery
Of missing a loving shoulder
On which I can lean and cry away
All that's bottled up
Deep inside me
O that the Almighty listens!
