Prayer
gifts of god
rain upon me
but I look away
to material things
I forget to pray and open my mouth to God
tell what I need, ask for what I want
I forget that he is waiting always
to hear me
and I make my life hard, harder
and struggle until I am spent
and then I remember
I need to look up
I need to close my eyes
I need to just
ask him
