I Need Your Love Always

[MIRIAM JACOB]

I Need Your Love Always
By: Wendell A. Brown

You call to me and I answer
sometimes I am stubborn
and you call again finding
that sometimes I turn my
face away...

Sometimes I hear your voice
and yet I close my ears and
also the vents to my heart
that I might not answer...

Yet when you do not call I cringe
stumbling in the darkness, where
night becomes my cell and loneliness
my robe...

When I do not hear your voice
I wonder if I still have favor
with you...or if by taking you
for granted I have caused you to
turn away from me...

But in all of my selfish moments
I come to the realization,
that in my life I do need you
more than you need me...

And I awaken as if from a dream,
longing for the sound of your voice
or for your kiss upon my cheek
and a warm hug from your
always embracing arms...

For Father, I do need your love...always
