The Prayer

Lord,

I am at a loss for words,

I really do not know what to say,

You gave me the only one that makes me happy,

Then just like that you took him away,

These tears that I cry, can you see them?

They say love conquers all,

So if all this is true, and you do,

Then why won't you let him call?

My whole life I have been kind to everyone,

I help as many ways as I possibly know,

So why all my life do I cry,

Why does everything wonderful ultimately go?



Lord,

No matter what I do, I will never be perfect,

All my life I have tried to be happy,

I've paid all due respect,

And I still care for my family,

Does any of this count?

Will any of it ever matter?

Should I just give up?

When will I finally shatter?

WOW... That was beautiful.. It's funny how alot of the things you write speak about my life.. The most intense line in your poem to me is when you stated "when will I finally shatter?"

I feel your pain in more ways then one
