What I Wouldn't Give

What I wouldn’t give to be some place other then this.
A grassy plain
A waterfront
A deep forest
Even a battlefield besides a comrade

What I wouldn’t give to be in the arms of someone who cares about me,
Whom I care for
Who has a desire to be with me
Whom I can let my walls down to,
Even though there may be pain in our lives

What I wouldn’t give to be completely free.
Form pain
From sorrow
From infirmities
From all the Demons and Darkness that surrounds me.

What I wouldn’t give to be someone different
That is smarter
That is stronger
That is less messed up
That is something I may never be.


What I wouldn’t give to be in a different situation, oh God MY God, why am I this way. Where did I miss a turn.

Where are you leading me, am I going to still be the man you showed me, or have the plans again changed. Lord, my King, I feel like you are leading me down a new path, but I feel that some of the path will remain the same.

God, grant me wisdom.
