Dear Lord, <br />I'm siting here crying <br />With my head to the sky <br />And you know I've been cryin <br />Since my dad left and died <br />They said life gets easy <br />But it only geting harder <br />My mom said when life is hard <br />It will make you much stronger <br />Also when life is hard <br />It will take you much farther <br />Now its 2009 <br />and I have a wife and a daughter <br />where-ever I go <br />no one really believes in me <br />my family is the only ones <br />that really see the best in me <br />im tired of crying <br />and im tired of all this movin <br />sometimes I cant believe <br />the things that im doin <br />I know you be watchin <br />Us as we sleep <br />You enable me to carry <br />all this weight on two feet <br />I feel that all this weight <br />Is buryin me to deep <br />Then I tell you all my problems <br />And you take the weight from me <br />And when I was down and hurt <br />You never left me alone <br />Then when I was lost in the world <br />You held my hand and guided me home <br />When my feelin got so hurt <br />It was you that really knew <br />From day one to age 22 <br />You watch how I grew <br />So here I come to you <br />Here through this rhyme <br />To ask you to keep helpin me out <br />For the rest of my time <br /> <br />amen<br /><br />Travis Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-prayer-41/
