Dear Father,

~By Baby Dogg


I know you hear me
And I know you understand

But sometimes I get lost
And cannot accept your plan

I never mean to doubt you
Or bring you any pain

But when the clouds won’t clear up
It just seems like endless rain

Why did you let this happen?
To someone I hold so dear

Leaving me to lie awake at night
With a painful stream of tears

I pray to you every day
But you still don’t grant my request

I try to have faith in you
And believe you know what’s best

So hear I am God, praying to you
Hoping that you’ll send me a light

So I can rest in peaceful dreams
Instead of questioning you every night
