I pray each day to stay in the light
Yet today I have stumbled into a well
It is empty here, cold and lonely
I know my Father will help me fight
Lord, I know my Mommy is with You
She wanted me to fight this depression
I know that the Devil has put me here
Lord I pray, I need your help anew
It is my faith that he is playing with
I pray please take away the fear and doubt
I can not seem to avoid the despair
I pray Lord, let Tasha live
Bring peace and calmness in my heart
That I may have the faith and strength
To pray for all in my family
So that we do not fall apart
Keep this circle of faith together
And hear our prayers O Lord
Uplift us into your righteous hands
Keeping us safe forever

HOODWINKED !!!
This is a thoughtful prayer of petition, a pouring out of ones heart over the pressing concerns which disrupt life and faith. Ask, Seek and Knock, that is what we are told to do and your prayer does that! The loss of a loved one weighs heavy on ones heart and we need added strength during the time of grief and recovery. Well written poem, thanks for sharing.
You have been Hoodwinked by the Poetic Bandits today because WE CARE!

This is beautiful. Depression is hard to fight. I have been fighting it for years. God will give you strength if you let him in. -
With Tasha being in her situation and the removal of the physical presence of your mother, it all seems to come at once. We are never given small doses of life. We are given life in all its highs and lows. Many must be tired of me saying this, but I will never stop. The mirror before you does not lie, look, it is you, whether ragged or victorious. Either way, you have the gift of verse. Do not despise it or veil it in your personal defeats and tragedies. Explode, not internally, but take the pen by the hand and forge a legacy not of defeat or triumph, but of accuracy about how life works, and how the spirit of God inside works. These are not the words I would have chosen to comment on your poem/prayer, but they are the ones that stand before your eyes now for whatever that may be worth. RC

This is a beautiful prayer / poem you have written Ami. I pray every night for Tasha that she will regain consciousness and come back to her family.
Know that your prayers are being heard and when the time is right all will be revealed as is the will of God.
