BURIED ALIVE

On my desk there is a book

I see “Buried Alive” as I look

And this title which I see

Seems to best describe me

Buried under my own sin

And an avalanche of others whim

Drowning in a sea of guilt

And hurting words my heart wilt

Some have said I am depressed

Others hope for better dressed

In the swamp of expectations

My life held in deprecation

But Jesus said I shall arise

From those who criticize

For if they feel I am straying

For my soul they should be praying

So I will rise above it all

And not let it make me fall

I will not answer pain for pain

For in that game there is no gain By Ronald Ramsey October 10, 2002
