a recent prayer

i pray, pray, pray that you stop stopping

that you tighten your grip through the strain

and learn that reps in anything will lead to gain

you can take a loss while standing on your feet

you can win while resting amidst the incomplete

maybe this time you’ll fight the urge to run away,

experience a good thing and know that you deserve to stay

i pray, pray, pray that you keep going

that you find an unconditional love, and nothing less

then you find a home in your heart, that’s what i bless

don’t let the past impressions weigh you down

not while your purpose is waiting to be found

quit believing that it’s easier to take the fall

and trust that the best things might require your all

i pray, pray, pray
