So today, I was looking through some memories from long ago. Papers I wrote years back, and drawings and sketches and silly little "perfect husband" lists I made, all saved in a single crowded filing box. One such poem I wrote years back I am fondly, if somewhat embarrassingly, posting here.
I wrote this one when I was twelve years old. 6 years ago. So much has changed since then.
The Morning Prayer
Dear Jesus,
Thank-you for keeping me safely through the night,
So I could once again see the lovely morning's light.
Please forgive me for the tears I caused you yesterday,
Help me to draw closer in my walk with You each day.
Let me have you for my light,
As I walk through the darkness of the night.
Give me the strength to obey, come what may.
Help me to honor you in all I do and say,
And to witness for you each and every day.
In Your name I pray,
Amen.
