I Am Thirsty But I Can Not Drink

by Darrell Brevard


I reach for your hand
Every day
Praying that you guide me
In every way
I seek the path
To become a total man
Praying for wisdom
Praying to understand
As a child I woke up
Hearing your voice
You groomed me
To make the right choice
The nights you put visions
In my dreams
The answer was always there
Together we solved them as a team
When I went astray 
You pulled back my hand
Punishing me
Because I disobeyed your command
I listen
You began to open doors for me
New roads appeared
New endings I could see
I tried hard
To become one of your kings
To envision people
Spread their broken wings
I sit down to deeply think
I am thirsty
But I can not drink
