This Poem Needs A Title, Got any suggestions?

[WizardofOwls]

Untitled (For now )
By Allen R. Alderman

When did I become so jaded,
My life so neatly filed?
When did I lose the joy that's found
In the eyes of a child?

So many unimportant things
Have drawn me far away.
They've stripped me of my child-like faith
And kept the joy at bay.

They've made me cold and, to my shame,
Have left me full of doubt;
They've let this world of sorrow in
And shut my Jesus out.

Restore the joy, the simple faith.
That child-like quality
That strips away the fear, the doubt,
And helps me to believe:

Believe in things I cannot see.
Like love that never fades;
In hands that gently lift me up
And wipe the tears away.

Breathe life once more upon this clay,
Change old to something new,
Soften my cold and icy heart
Renew my faith in You.

I'd say see the last line for a title...
"Renew My Faith"

It's pretty A little rough in a couple spots in my opinion, but quite pretty.

"A Prayer for Renewal"

[Richard Bercot]

"Finding my Balance"

Like in my Signature.

[Senara]

sounds more like a grown-up's lament to me....if it were my choice I'd probably name it "Innocence Lost" or something like that.

"Mark 9:24"

what wonderful thought provoking words, makes me think about the loss of my wide eyed wonder of the world round and the beauty that can be found within if only i choose to look closer.thank you wiz
