A New Poem to Share

Prayer

Kneeling down she takes her place

Her heart is heavy, she seeks His grace

The weight of the world on her shoulders is resting

The joys and the sorrows, the trails, the testing

Heavenly Father are you really there

Praying for answers, listening with care

Silent and still, her heartbeat is pacing

Collecting her thoughts, though her mind is still racing

Forgive me dear Father when I lose my way

Asking for strength to face the new day

Grateful for blessings seen and unknown

Faithfully knowing that she's not alone
