A 14-year-old girl who has been through our Bible discussion groups gave us permission to share this poem that she wrote.
Dear God,
Today was a new day
ending like the last
full of sad memories
hitting all so fast
when I wake up
I hate the way realty sinks in
The pain, the guilt
And the anger within
and I pray to you
When I don’t even know you’re there
But I need something, n-e thing
Someone to show me they care
I’m so lost, if you are there
I need a little guidance, please
A little faith, just some hope
To set my demons to ease
I’m not asking for a miracle
or a whole new start
Just 4 a candle
in this lingering dark
I need a release
of this evil within
& so I end my prayer
with a brief – AMEN
