my prayer to YOU

another day another issue
they have grown farther and colder
tears roll down to the tissue
i see i'm not stronger just older
the pain grows as the weeks progress
laughter and joy reside in the past
not the pain that makes me obsess
but the frightening emotions not knowing how long they last
looking to the future knowing not what to do
anger and even resentment into my heart they creep
i know all things muct be focussed on YOU
YOUR power and love with me i must keep

so this prayer i offer up to YOU
let our hearts be cleansed to be pure and true
