Constance La France Poet Shape

Notes About The Poem

Crossroads

 
O, Dear Lord
Give me the
strength for
today, give 
me courage
for this day
let only tran
quility leave my lips and let only serenity dwell in my heart
Lord help me to accept the past, the present and the future
and help me to surrender all my past fragmented memories
all my grief, and sorrow, and regret and failures, let me put
it all in your
arms, so I
can  let go
thank you
for  being 
a rock and
anchor and
holding my
hand when
I  whisper
I am afraid
carrying me
when I  am
broken and
nothing can
destroy my
faith in you
oh see my
tears  Lord
these  are,
my, falling 
tears, tears
