o lord, hear me

Lord, hear my prayer,
Get me rid of my diabetes,
listen to the little birds,
Who sing when the street lamps light up,
listen to the tram driver,
which carries so many people incapable of loving,
hear my prayer, Lord,
listen to the high school girls who make up
Before solving equations,
Get rid of the young drivers
Whose testosterone holds the wheel,
Get rid of people who ignore the slowness,
Offer me sunsets in Australia,
Lord, hear my prayer,
and my day will be better.

Valsa George Date: 1/22/2025 9:16:00 PM Diabetes is spreading rampant among many. I have been on the verge of diabetes for many years. But through strict diet, it hasn't grown into a state of forcing me to have medication. I am sorry for you. May God hear all your prayers and give you sound health. Login to Reply

Sara Kendrick Date: 1/18/2025 2:09:00 AM Yann, don't let diabetes get you down. Is it type 2 diabetes? My husband and I both are type 2 diabetics. His is worse than mine. We both have neuropathy with his being worse than mine. Sometimes those fast drivers can be scary but the young have faster reflexes.

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 1/16/2025 3:18:00 PM In light of all the modern medical advances, I keep hoping that one day there will be breakthrough cures for cancer, diabetes and other diseases. Your prayer is beautiful, Yann. I hope it is answered. Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 1/16/2025 4:58:00 PM thanks evelyn, there is still hope with medecine and science, for now i have to care principally about what i eat, every day is a challenge for me, thanks for your support

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/16/2025 8:33:00 AM I believe you can get rid of diabetes 2 by simply changing the way you eat, radically. Sorry if you have diabetes 1. My husband has had diabetes 2 for 15 years, but he has kept it borderline by using metformin. Good luck to you. Your prayer about the guys out of control at the wheel. Let's pray they cut it the heck out!! Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/18/2025 1:24:00 PM just hang in there. My husband is so addicted to sweets and he has been borderline for diabetes 2 just by taking metformin. It's one of the few drugs out there that is really beneficial! Yann Rolland Date: 1/16/2025 5:02:00 PM thank you so much andrea, for offering hope, it is "garbage" food that gave me diabete 2 also, with caring my food i progress slowly too, this maladie has deep consequences, i am afraid of that, thanks for you support , it means something

Ink Empress Date: 1/16/2025 6:23:00 AM I understand and feel your sincere and heartfelt prayer to God, i hope and pray the same for you and also i really wish illnesses such as diabetes etc do not exist! Sigh! Love how you mentioned sunsets in australia. Sending you light always and prayers for better days ahead Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 1/16/2025 5:05:00 PM in french we say " aide toi et le ciel t'aidera" i think that with food i can cure something, but it is a difficult challenge every day, temptations are so fast and numerous, thanks for your beautiful comment

Victor Buhagiar Date: 1/16/2025 2:00:00 AM I have diabetes two, so I have come to hate food. Green vegetables and little meat. No desserts. But your poem is great observation. Loved Get rid of the young drivers Whose testosterone holds the wheel. We have too many overspeeding deaths in Malta. Login to Reply Yann Rolland Date: 1/16/2025 5:10:00 PM thanks victor, sorry for your diabetes, i can relate to vegetables too, this is so important for helping myself, but it is also psychological, i like my cheese with red wine, i will do efforts next thanks for your beautiful comment
