For years, I worked in Risk Management, and conducted incident investigations (I loved it). In Risk Analysis, the goal is to discover the Root Causes of faults, or problems. Once the “root” is identified, then we establish the proper controls to either eliminate the hazard or mitigate the damages.
Well, when I found myself at my lowest point in life. I found it necessary to ask GOD to reveal to me the “Root Cause” of the issues in my Life. I’m a writer of Poetry, and this is the Prayer/Poem I wrote. I called it “Friday’s (Show Me My Worth). At the time, I hated Friday nights. Loneliness seemed to be at its LOUDEST on Fridays. Not anymore, thankfully.
Anyway, I’m dedicating this to anyone who may feel discouraged, overwhelmed or Lonely. God is with you. You are Loved. More importantly, you are NOT alone. Jesus Loves you, and I Love you too. I hope you enjoy.
Friday’s
I wish that I could say that
I’ve never been a fool for love
Never Been the type to be
Took advantaged of But,
That’s not my truth and I don’t feel the need to lie to you.
I wish that I could say that
I never act CRAZY,
All the time, Every Time I act like a Lady But,
That’s not my truth, I Know my truth. Now, so do you.
I wish that I could say that
I’ve made the Best decisions
Never said a word to cause any Division But,
No, I’m not perfect. Yes, I’m imperfect. Beautifully Broken.
I wish that I could say that
Every man I’ve ever loved
Always Loved me back But,
That’s not the truth, Truth is Never, Not one.
Never, no not one
Never, no not one
Was well enough to be the man I needed
My heart often conceded or maybe I’m just conceited
Lord, show me the Root Cause of my Hurt
My Heart, Oh God it hurts
Show me my worth Lord
Next time I’ll Seek you First
Friday’s the worst day, Friday my love went away
God, I need to know, show me the Root cause of my hurt
My heart, Lord it hurts
Show me my worth
I wish that I could say that
I’ve never been a fool for love
Never Been the type to be
Took advantaged of But,
That’s not my truth, I know my truth. Now, so do you.
LOYALTY It seems my greatest Strength was my greatest Weakness
LOVED him UNCONDITIONALLY.
I WAS Loyal to a Fault, when he was NEVER Loyal to Me.
I wish that I could say that
Every man I’ve ever loved
Was always Worthy, But
That’s not the truth,
He didn’t deserve it, they don’t deserve it, Heck No, he didn’t deserve it.
Lord, show me the Root Cause of my Hurt
My Heart, Oh God it hurts
Show me my worth Lord
Next time I’ll Seek you First
Friday’s the worst day, Friday’s a tough dy.
Friday my love went away.
God, I need to know, show me the Root cause of my hurt.
My heart, Lord it hurts
Show me my worth LORD.
Next time I’ll keep you first.
