To You I Run and Hide by Lisa Robertson

You see the tears I've shed the pain I feel inside
I feel safe with You oh Lord, to You I run and hide
No one knows or understands the way I feel sometimes
All that matters is that You do, to You I run and hide
With each step I take, You stand by my side
And when I may fall, to You I run and hide
You strengthen me through storms and roughest tides
It gives me such joy to know dear Lord, to You I run and hide...

Safe am I, safe am I, in the hollow of His Hand----this is the song that comes to mind as I read your words. I can feel the tears you shed and the refreshing of the Lord to lift the tears, at the same moment. That is how a really good poem can tug at the heart. Bravo!

Thank you for your comment. I wrote this when my parents got divorced and I had no one else better to run to but God!

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
