Courage

With his back to the sea and tears in his eyes He looks up to the dark florescent night sky A gentle breeze was made as he hit his knees There isolated on this beach he prayed.."Lord please..." He prayed for those he harmed in his life He prayed for the death of his lovely wife Cried out in anguish as he remembered that dreadful day And ever since that day he's been in such disarray As he wiped away his tears that we're pooling in the sand Finally got enough strength to point towards the Heavens with open hands And prayed for one final thing..he said "Lord please bless me at another dawn... With the courage...to go on"
