All I Have Is Prayer
By Steven Bates 1 Jan 2024
I find that it's that time of year
when I must write a blog, I fear
I can't think of things worth writing 'bout
but perhaps prayer might work things out
For prayer is sometimes all I've got
When things are bad, my life is shot
Prayer is often all that's left
When hope's been plucked by fingers deft
Slyly taking all my dreams
When at my lowest, then it seems
Prayer is when I may gain hope
It keeps from that slippery slope
Of thinking I might end it all
So on my knees, I make the call
To Him above, I plead my case
To Him who rules o'er Earth and Space
To Him, I ask that He bring peace
To end my worries and troubles cease
To Him, I give my all in prayer
Unload my burdens, and sorrows share
And though my Lord might not provide
A simple solution, or an easy ride
I know that He will keep me safe
As I would to, to any waif
That came to me in desperate hour
I know that He alone has power
And through my prayer, I build my strength
To continue on at any length
And so, I find a simple blog
Is just a part, a piece, a cog
It's just a way for me to say
Don't forget to pray each day!
