I've learned

My prayers

In most of my prayers
I pray for my healthfor strength
to do all the things that 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
and 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 those times
to tell me of joy and peace I have found
with every trial i've faced.
I don't know wha'ts 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 tests.
