Praying For Better Days

When it comes to all my sorrows 
what do I do with them 
Do I place them in a paper cup 
and pour them down the sink 
Do I take a mallet to them 
and pound them soft as mink 
When it comes to all my tears
where do I bring them? 
Do I bring them to the sea 
to merge with salty smears 
Do I offer up my wailings 
to the God above?
When it comes to all my sadness 
what can take them all away? 
Do I grin and bear it with a grin    
then walk away on feet of clay  
or do I pray for better days,   
hoping that ,He'll lead the way.

Powerful dialogue you convey, Vienna. Thoughtful discourse and prayers always find the answers within.
