A Silent Prayer

Out of nowwhere came these silent words
pouring from my heart within
first I began to think, on certain things
to ask for help to bring an end
to a few complaints that I need not have
and those worries I carry at times
those shifting moods I have some days
it's just I need to free my mind!
I want to wake up having good thoughts
and not to dwell in nagative land
but to take that energy for better use
something positive that will surly stand
I don't want to think on what, could have been
nor to be angry that it didn't work out
for life can be sweet if desire it such
and stop, finding reasons to pout
I want to freely give without receiving
In knowing that good will always come back
so I pray to leave my doubts behind
and accept this, as a true fact
I want to put all my fears under lock and key
and to be thankful for every new day
and along with the good, learn to take
the bad
and let God's spirit have it's way
now I close this silent prayer with hope
that even the heavy burdens will flee
so that I can run this race with patience
for God truly is good to me |
