In most of my prayers

My prayers

In most of my prayers

I pray for my health,

for strength to do all I need.

I pray for peace and protection from harm

and I pray for my children indeed.

There's times when I can't understand the pain

and the sorrow I've faced

at times when I cry with all of my soul


that my life has been such a waste.

But a comforting touch, a soft whispered word

comes into my spirit at times

to tell me of joy and peace I have found

with every trial I've faced.

I don't know what’s coming:

I still ask for peace;

I know I have learned more from stress.


From having the pain, my joy is enhanced,

And I’ve learned and I've grown from the tears
