Dear Lord,
by: David Foster

There are so many things to be thankful for
in this life of mine, Dear Lord
friendships, support, and experiences
that even the richest men can't afford

I've been blessed with so much already
my skills are broad and diverse
yet I'm selfishly confused about why
upon me has been placed a curse

I'm happy with my accomplishments in life
and of all the things I have done
but I know that there's something I'm missing
this feeling is an extremely sorrowful one

I've received this agonizing pain
deep in the middle of my chest
it hurts when I think of it
it is an emptiness, to describe it best

I am missing one of life's greatest treasures
an inspiration to everyone's heart
I want to get in on the action
I just can't seem to get, how to start

It's not fair to single me out
and leave me all alone
I need a companion in this world
I know I can't go it on my own

I apologize for being conceited
especially towards the Lord above
I just feel that I am owed a chance
to share this gift of LOVE.
