I prayed- a poem

Photo by Bestie , Debbie

WHEN we were young, our page would start

With once upon a time.

Starry nights and sunlit days,

While everything would rhyme.

AND as life came much faster than

Before when we were young,

We’d make our plans and have our hopes

As days were never done.

NOW, as I look back at my years,

And all unanswered prayers,

I search for reason and I find

Ahead, an empty chair.

I sit along with memories

Of times yet given me,

Though prayers were left unanswered still,

It was so clear to see.

THAT You knew all along my plan

Would need to still be changed,

And as I fought You ever hard,

My life was rearranged.

SO now I smile, and thank You for

Most changes that You made.

I’m glad You added Your own plans

To every time I prayed.
