My Unanswered Prayers

By KC Kay

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I remember a while backWhen I was fourteen years oldI prayed one night to GodNot to take your soulI cried every nightAs I saw your life declineThis was not my prayerHow could God be so blind?Then one night it happenedYou had lost your fightHow could this have happened?I prayed for you every nightThat's the night I learnedNot to hate the lordFor unanswered prayersAre simply the keys to lifes goldFor if you wouldn't have goneOn that Thanksgiving nightYou would be suffering moreThat's worst than giving up a fightFor many of God's secrets to lifeAre simply his unanswered prayersAnd I thank God nowFor my unanswered prayers Written August 29th, 2001 © on Aug 29 2001 03:49 PM PST   0 • 12
