"My Prayer"
By: Jamie Lauren Wyrick (Saturday, February 05, 2000)

Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care,
my body is trembling, my days filled with despair.
I grow so tired of living, and sick of this life,
I'm tired, unhappy, quite miserable and cold,
and I'm afraid that I'll never grow old.

For so many years,
people thought that hurting me
was really lots of fun,
with the jokes they made,
and the things that were done.
My quite laughter at their cruel jokes, and the things that were done,
all belied the fact,
of the harm they had done.
Each wound they tore open in my soul, bled deep,
causing torrents of tears to be shed,
while lying at night in the dark on the bed.

Dear God, help me find someone to love me and protect me,
all I want is someone to please!
I promise I'll make them a home filled with love.
A warm, sheltered house, and someone with a temperate hand,
someone so gentle, kind and sweet,
with eager, loving, gentle arms able to enclose and hold me,
and can reach down to me and take me off my feet.
And someone that I can rest assure that when I sleep,
my dreams will always be sweet.
For I know I'll never make it all on my own,
I promise to make their bed cozy for as long as they'll love me,
I swear, they'll have no need to roam.

I'll be afraid, at first, I admit,
I've lived for so long, so alone and in fear.
I honestly can't remember when anyone else came so near.
So dear God, please, please answer my prayer.
Send someone to me, someone who will really care.
Every night I say a prayer,
asking it to be, -
That is, dear God, if you really are there ...
