Hope

Hope

Will I hurt you?
Most likely yes,
I hope to seek your good
To hold and embrace,
Will I neglect you?
Mostly likely yes,
I hope to listen and comfort
To apply attention when needed,
Will I be a man?
A man of love, truth and sacrifice
But at times of self,
Yes, I am but human
So, I pray and I hope
I pray for selflessness and self-control
I hope for your dreams to come true
I pray the Lord binds and uses us
I hope for your joy in daily life,
Oh my Lord what a blessing
Not a burden
A responsibility that fulfills my desires,
Oh Lord of my soul
Give me the soft words
Give me the tender heart
Give me protecting strength
The faithfulness and dedication that you display to me,
Yes, as you are to me
Let me be to her.
