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 ___________________ September 22, 2021 Poetry/Shape/Crossroads Copyright Protected, ID 09-1390-456-22 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Crossroads sponsor, Kim Rodrigues, Judged 10/16/2021 First Place

wow, so beautiful, Dear Heart. I really wish I could get into these shape poems, but I doubt I will even try this one. Wish something would come to me, like this one did for you!
