THE PERFECT STORM

I woke up in a frenzy 

Crying my heart out 

The one I loved took my first born 

On the greyhound south

My baby girl was the reason I lived

This atrocity was beyond forgiveness 

There I was in a state of despair 

No disaster experienced before could be compared 

I fell on my knees and began to pray 

Heck!! Not knowing God 

I had no idea what to say 

So I just said what was in my heart 

Lord! My world is falling apart 

If you give me another chance 

I'll do what's right 

My knees was sore that night 

I heard no angels voice 

No angelic being appeared 

I saw no burning bush

Only my tears was coupled with fear

Then a feeling of peace came over me 

I was in His presence 

Right where I ought to be 

God was there all of the time 

Waiting on my repentance 

Now my family is doing fine.
