My Hope

I feel like a stranger
In a strange land
Lately my thoughts
Are rather moribund

I find myself in
A totally depressed state
My mental health
Sure isn’t great

I am mourning Daddy
The grief is overwhelming
I want to hear his voice
I’m stuck farewelling

I know one happy day
Daddy and I will reunite
That is my hope
It will be a time outta sight

My faith in Christ
It will get me through
I’ll lean on Jesus
No prayer will I eschew

I can acutely imagine that day
When I see Daddy again
And we hug
We’ll be free from all sin
