oh God rescue me
from the claws of this disease
that has made sure
my hopes and dreams
wouldn't come to fruition
this i believe
oh God the Father
i'm growing weaker and smaller
unable to get any higher
my heart has ceased to flutter
help me get my life back together
May God be kind to us all!
ReplyDeleteFrom your mouth to God's ear. May the tendency to negative belief fall by the wayside, and hope return.
ReplyDeleteMay this prayer be answered. May the heart doing the praying find ways to grow stronger, to grow as big as it is needed, to rescue itself. May new hopes and realized dreams be plentiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope that new dreams spring up quickly and help carry us over to a world where this disease is history.
ReplyDeleteI hope your prayer is answered and soon--we all need help now--
ReplyDeleteAmen. I could pray this for you and for me, fellow Poet. :)
