Innocent, And Young:

I started out innocent and young.
Making mistakes, tripping and falling.
Onto my family I clung.
If I tried walking on my own, all I did was,
onto the floor, flung.
I didn’t know any better
I just kept getting stung.
I needed guidance,
Because it felt like I kept sinking into mere subsidence.









Then I turned 8!
What a number so great
With wonder in my mind I realized
It was finally time to be baptized.
I was blessed with the Holy Ghost,
And was given the assurance that he would be my life’s best host.

While living in this world I’ve had to deal with many trials
But also by His promise have been filled with wonderful bright smiles.

Walking with a briefcase full of jumbled errors and files,
I could eventually walk a million long miles.
But with my prayerful fall
I know will immediately bring his peaceful call.

He has the power to take your burdens away
And hold them at bay
If you feel you have been in defeat
And are at the threat of cheat
Please show sorrow and tears,
But never be of fear
Because I know His judgment is sweet.

Sometimes in this big old world I feel alone,
But I know to always condone
Because He is with me even when I think I’m on my own.
