Tag: change comes from doing

she prays a lot

feels all she’s got

to change her lot

sadly

and radio gospel

being screamed

it just sounds mean

frankly

praying for miracles

one-stop cures

for living the same life

daily

desperate to change me

insists i start praying

only jesus is going to

save me

intentions heartfelt

but her home is awash

with habitual mayhem

disharmony

‘cause nothing but prayer

desperate grasping at air

will get you nowhere

most assuredly 

and why must i pray

when i strive everyday

to live this brief life

mindfully 

while she prays a lot

certain it’s all she’s got

ignoring the truth of it

blindly

but i take it in stride

got nothing to hide

and nothing to prove

really

I’ll lend a kind ear

bear laughter through tears

be a friend being me

quite naturally
