Careful What You Pray For

I reread the scriptures
Raised my hands to the same sky 
My body trembles once again 
Of fear that perhaps my supplications would go unheeded  
My eyes flood over with tears of remorse 
Of how I had knelt here before 
And asked for you from the heavens 
But now I return 
On my knees yet again
To ask
Why my prayers was answered

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
