A Prayer

A reminder of what I need to focus on

Lord please take my attention

from this rose-tinted glass,

and help me see my situation

as I do my pretty past.

I know I'm just a sinner,

I screw up all the time,

but please keep your demeanor,

pouring grace on all my crimes.

If life was just a paradise with flowers everywhere,

not a single soul would ever have to stop and think or care.

These are some of the things I think as the hands of time go round,

while the Father makes my worries shrink

and brings my enemies to the ground.

And so this, dear reader, is my advice to you;

ask our creator for a breather,

and be amazed by what He'll do.
