I Give Up

God, a whole lot of me,
Every single part of me,
Wants to say a prayer.
At the same time,
Today or tonight,
I'd ask,
If you're there;
Because sometimes,
My heart's desires,
Don't seem,
To be anywhere;
My made mistakes,
Of the other day,
They're known,
By those over there.
As I spend time,
Still trying to find,
Someone,
To love and care,
What answer will come?
Though I've messed up,
What for me is spared?

Honestly my friend he has his plan. Trust him he knows whats best for you. Patience brings knowledge don't rush into anything. Always be patient. You will make better decisions and when you rush it's easier to make mistakes. Excellent write full of truth.
