Seajay

When the night seems dark and dreary
and you cannot see your way,
When the thunder clouds are rolling
and tears dim your day.

When the anger in you rises
and you feel the urge to run,
just remember where your running too,
learn to run to God's son!

Fancy words they won't heal you
or any splendid deed
learn to lean upon the Father
He is everything you will need!

For the strength to face each new day
for wisdom in knowing what to do
with learning, leaning and loving
Our Father will help you through.

He never said the road would be easy
and he never said there would be no pain,
but in all your times of troubles
He said he'd be there just the same.

If we could only learn to trust
in HIM and cast all care
then even in the darkest night
we would truly know HE is there!

I sense a lot of feeling in this poem. Nicely done, but, it would flow better if you used a comma instead of a period in the last line of the 1st stanza.
Also perhaps you can insert the word "aside" in this last stanza.
