CASTING MY CARES

My grandchildren are flying home today
From a summer vacation down Florida way;
I think about them flying home
It's not so safe, they are so alone.

My son is hurting really bad
From living the life he's had;
His heart is not strong -
Doctors say it won't be long.

My life seems to turn with ebb and flow
Where I'm going, I sure don't know -
I'm like to be everything for everyone;
Somehow I don't think it can be done.

My daughters I can not forget,
They'll learn the pain of living yet -
And will they be strong enough to survive,
To make it through their pain alive?

It seems true love is what I crave,
To be a partner, not a slave -
I've almost given up every dream
Living alone can be pretty mean.

So many worries and thoughts can be
Disruptive to my sanity -
There is only one thing to do
I'm casting my cares to someone new.

You see, I don't have to worry and fret
There is someone that I can let
Have every care, if my trust is strong
He will help us all along.

When flying home, sight unseen, but there
Jesus holds my grandchildren in His care.
I know that only He can understand
When my son must leave this land.

He will give the strength they need
My daughters will on His love feed;
They may shake their heads in disbelief
But He will overcome their grief!

And as for me, I know that He
Will put me where I need to be;
If I follow Him and say a prayer
I can cast to Him all my care!

For me to miss a love that's true,
Is really a dumb thing to do -
With God's love so close to me;
He will open my eyes to see.

Casting my cares, and letting go,
Brings the peace that I crave so.
Whatever life may hold in store
I shall never ask for more.

He will provide my every need;
All I must do is sow one seed
Of loving kindness in my heart
And with courage make a start.
