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. |

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. |
