The Prayer
I’m falling to my knees
Bowing my head
Folding my hands
And praying
Dear Lord,
Teach me to be the person
You want me to be.
Help me to find the job
I’m meant to have.
Guide me to the arms of the man
I’m supposed to be with.
Push me to do the things
That I need to do.
Take me to the place
Where you want me to be.
God, I’m sure that
This sounds crazy
Especially coming from me
But I’m thankful for all
You have given
Grateful for what
You’ve taken away
Ready for that next
Big shove from you
To get me out the door
On my feet once again
Thank you father
For being there for me,
My family and friends
Amen.
