Lord I feel as if I’m going to cry
And not sure the reason why
Lost, unsure, worried, and frightened
My head is shaking; my heart weakened
I am stumbling over paths unsure
Blind, my eyes are sealed without cure
I can’t see the way ahead of me
Only you can take my hand and lead
For I am deaf, stumbling, and feeble
Lead me, Steady me, Strengthen me
I need your love and guidance
I strive for kindness and gentleness
Save me O Lord for I am greatly lost
Turn my gaze to your saving cross

As I sat
just waiting,
I saw my
mother pacing.

As I sat
just waiting,
Cereal became
unappetizing.

As I walked
upstairs,
my hands began to shake,
my heart began to pace,
and tears were rolling down my face.

As I sat
just waiting,
starring
into the abyss.

As I sat
just waiting,
I wondered what I had missed.

And from then on
it was a blur,
and I always wondered
how you were.

And while I wondered,
I just sat there,
waiting.

By the red hue
That drenched the plain
The cannons rumbled
The bullets rained

The moaning of men
Silenced by death
Filled all the ears
Of those in lament

Men that of rank
And of honor fell
Glory and praise
Bestowed on all

All advancing men
In the dark field
Climbed up steady
Toward the fateful hill

Clothed by cannon
And bullet fog
The men crawled safely
Until one flawed

“Mourn not overmuch mighty was the fallen”

These staves he spoke
On the back of war
Death brought to the field
Sorrow the city held
White towers rose to greet
The bier bearers
Walking through the street

King’s crown has been given
Rejoicing all sung
Now all the sorrow
Is poured out to the one they love

Banners of green and white
Herald the death of grief
Mightily he fell
Honor he kept
The king of the hall
Of all the lands
Father to all
