Letter To My Family
|
|
father, you are older than me
|
and in many ways you are wise
|
but all of my life it's hurt to see
|
the sadness that's in your yes
|
and I know that your life has been hard
|
and you struggled to do your best
|
now I want you to share the love I've
|
found
|
and give your poor heart a rest
|
|
and He'll draw close to you
|
if you'd only ask Him to
|
He would understand your heart's
|
most secret prayer
|
and He's waiting there
|
|
mother, I could never forget
|
your laughter and your worried tears
|
and all of the loving things you did
|
to help me through those painful years
|
and I know when you've given your heart
|
life has often been unkind
|
but turning away you just might miss
|
the love you've waited years to find
|
|
and He'll draw close to you
|
if you'd only ask Him to
|
let Him wash away the bitterness and fear
|
you'll see He's here
|
|
dear brother, I remember the days
|
when I'd tag along to play
|
and all of the childish angry things
|
we never really meant to say
|
and I know that those boys have grown
|
up
|
and we'll never play those games again
|
and that's why I hope you'll understand
|
and listen to me as a friend
|
|
and He'll draw close to you
|
if you'd only ask Him to
|
let Him have the chance
|
to show what love can do
|
It's there for you
|
|
|
