I Said a Prayer

I Said a Prayer I do not have the answers And it breaks my heart for you You have to decide for yourself What it is you need to do You could look back and see But looking back is not too good Today is all you truly have To figure out if you shouldn’t or should I could tell you all the things I did When I had demons like yours to face But the answers I had are not for you Mine were a different time and a different place I have lived through all the sorrow And pain no one should know about I was given an inner strength I can tell you it really helped me out But I didn’t get the help from a friend The turmoil I had l was inside my head And I thought maybe it would be better If I just gave up and was found dead That is what pain and heartache did to me Even my soul lay torn, broken and bare I am still not sure why I felt such a need But I knelt down, bowed my head, and said a prayer Connie Moore 5/6/14
