"Reason to Pray"
If all I ever am is the best I can be,
If all I ever do is keep my sanity,
If I’m loved, and I make it through each day,
Then that’s enough reason to pray.
If I wake up each morning to the sun shining bright,
Or remember that even snow reflects the light,
If my tears don’t kill me and I’m not drowned by rain,
Then I know tomorrow will help relieve my pain.
Trying my best to be honest, true, and loyal,
If I’m never looking for an easy wave to ride,
Then I know time is on my side.
If I can take a moment each day to smile,
If I can repress even my own denial,
If I sometimes, but not always get my way,
Then that’s enough reason to pray.

I came upon this whilst updating my own blog - I am reading back now - your poetry is different - some of it (including the "Reason to Pray") speaks to me - have had a pretty down time for the last couple of years - crawling out now = thanks
