Poem 

I came to sit with my Father

I had so much i wanted to say

So i sat and told Him my troubles

In the rush and the usual way

But my heart suddenly realised

That's not the way it should be

I need to sit at His feet

And wait for Him to speak to me

I sat and waited for Him

I said how sorry am I

Please forgive me Father

And I waited for him to reply

I felt that He was smiling

And that He was drawing near

Above all the voices in my head

Would i discern His and be able to hear

So i sat and waited in silence

I wated for His still small voice

Oh what joy will fill my heart

When he speaks, i will rejoice

I felt that He drew near to me

Ans whispered in my ear

I'm always here with you child

You have nothing at all to fear

I promised to be with you

I have never left your side

My Holy Spirit is in you

He is always your daily guide

Trust me with all your heart

And lean not on what you know

I have a plan for you my child

So that you will surely grow

So stay close by me always

Hear my voice in the darkest night

One day you will be in heaven

When everything will be alright
