I wrote this poem yesterday after I burst into tears while listening to a song title "the prayer" by Celine Dion. The song is half french so I did not understand most of it. Nevertherless, for some strange reason I cried uncontrollaby.<BR>Last couple of days I've been in a funk and can't seem to snap out of it. She is trying but it doesn't seem to matter anymore. I feel so sad. Prayer is what keeps me alive.<P>POEM<P>At times when I drive<BR>I burst into tears and can't help but cry<BR>It may be a song that ignites the tears<BR>Or a thought or a trigger that makes me feel fear<P>I try to contain myself as I wipe the tears<BR>Like rivers they fall<BR>Unto soft cheeks that no longer can cheer<P>Are you there my God to hear?<BR>I don't feel that you're near<BR>Please send me your calming peace<BR>Put my troubled spirit at ease<P>Some days I fly long and high<BR>And some days I barely get by <BR>Some days I can see the light of day<BR>And some days all is dark and gray<P>Create a new person in me<P>Where there is sadness put joy<BR>Where there is hopelessness put hope<BR>Where there is crying and pain<BR>Shower me with your Holy Spirit rain<P>When all seems lost<BR>Bring your salvation<BR>When there are bad thoughts that bring me down<BR>Bring to my heart hope and elation<P>Oh God hear my cry<BR>With your love<BR>Wipe my tears dry<P>7/18/01
