A Prayer Today

I heard you say today, that you frequently pray.

You say you pray every night to not wake up the next day.

I understand your prayer, your plea with God;

As your daily struggles grow great and broad.

With heavy heart and a burden so great,

You tire of the pain and the pills you hate.

I heard you say today, that you frequently pray.

I too dropped to my knees for prayer this day.

I pray for strength, your soul to keep;

For one more day to revel the love you reap.

I thank him for his will for you to carry on

For I know in your heart you are not ready to be gone.

I heard you say today, that you frequently pray.

Pray not for an end, but for Lord’s mercy should you wake up today.
