“MY PRAYER” 24 August 02

I weathered my way through weakness
not all of it was mine
others preach forgiveness
that was another time

and whilst you are my prayer
my rock and my bible
the foundation upon which I build
the rest of my world

there are those who turn the other cheek
there are those who walk away
there are those for whom knowledge of the self
is too big a price to pay

there are times when you were absent
when you failed to take
any of the weight of the world
there are times when you did not care
or you would have tried to save our world
