A prayer


Please God, give me back the years
laid waste by sorrow and useless tears
that ran like rivers and washed away
the hopes and dreams of yesterday

Please fill my heart with love again
the wonder that I felt back when
the world was new and filled with grace
and simple joys now erased...

Help me find the spirit then
to feel alive in thee again
and rest my faith in thy dear hands
submit my will to thy commands...

And I be content to live my part
to live with Heaven in my heart
no more to seek a bitter end
and be thy child again
