Always Near
When Happiness turns into depression
and I’m swallowed up by despair,
I open my eyes and remember
that you will always be near.
When I’m fighting a battle with evil
and I’m scared I’ll give way to sin,
I turn my head to you, Lord, because
I know with your help I will win.
With you by my side, I need not worry.
With you by my side, I need not fear.
All I have to do is remember that
You will always be near.
* This is an original poem that I wrote when I was 16.
