A Prayer for the Living

Grant us strength to make it through
The power to stop from hurting this way
The faith to see tomorrow
While blindsided by yesterday
Give us grace to heal our hearts
To place our anger behind bars
To take the raw, red sore inside
Never to cure, just become scars
We pray to end this ceaseless night
To lift our eyes up to the sun
To stop the tears that fall so free
We count them each- a thousand, plus one
And so we pray, we beg, we plead
For clarity in desperate times
And guide us with our hands in yours
For answers that we need to find

That was awesome!! You are a very talented writer!! You really should write a book!! Or publish what you already have written!! I'm sure you'd find a publisher for sure!! :D

LOL, only if there's a publishing company called "Spastic House Publishing"! Then I might have a shot. But thanks for the kind words!
