Binding my hands together I fall down and pray
Lord please give me strength to make it through another day
But my dead body lies cold below my feet
And my spirit is standing over me
His shadow blocking the light of my sun
But even in darkness I know light will overcome
Time quietly whispers slowing down with every tick
And every tock that passes brings me closer to losing my grip
If there is a heaven then there surely is a hell
As it is said this is a place we already dwell
But perseverance guides me through my own land of waste
Through His body piercing I have been saved by grace
Holding on to my prayers letting go of what I pray for
Knowing that someone else needed it more
A battle cannot be won if its not fought for someone else
Without a reason to love could I live only for self

James,

This is absolutely a sound of a very giving person. The ability to take the responsibility to pray for something only to dole it to the one who needs more. If all of us has a heart like yours then all the afflictions on this planet would all be wiped out.

It's my first time to read you and I am surely blessed to share your noble thoughts.

God bless you.

Windy

Beautiful write james, expresing a very genuine feeling. Yes, we, humans, are like that; it takes others, it takes love to get the best out of us. Love to ourselves, to the ones around us, love to life, etc. Thank you for sharing bouquet
