Forgiving Embrace

Forgiving Embrace Watching the sunset  And I began to feel empty, ... tortured and drained and even a bit of envy.  Tears well in my eyes  And I can no longer control  these emotions that have been put on hold.  But as the hot water ran down my face I feel the tenderness of your embrace.  Strong and comforting and I realize  that all this time you've been right here by my side. Sickness and in health through poor and through wealth You stood by my side And my heart begins to melt Why have I forsaken you? Why have I turned away? Why when peer pressures came alone I turned and ran away I ran and ran until I got lost into the devils arm And away from the cross He made me feel like a sin isn’t a sin… And all that I once taught wrong Was right from the beginning For the first five minutes everything was great I was on top of the world until minute eight That’s when it started going south I felt undistinguished, futile and could barley open my mouth I cried and cried with a smile on my face I hid these emotions from the ones I embrace My mother, friends, sisters and brothers too But as hard as I tried I couldn’t hide Them from you You saw my tears through the cracks in my foundation And no judgment was brought to me at all Instead you picked me back up And held me in your arms The one place where I truly belong I bowed my head And said a little prayer For all the bad things You wiped my tears dry And that gleam was back in my eye As you kept me under your wings
