My Last Prayer

God where are you,

Are you here,

God where are you,

Are you near

If you’re listening,

(I know you’re listening)

Then please,

Hear out my very last prayer:

Now,

I know I’m not perfect,

I know I’m not pretty,

I know I talk a lot,

And what I say is almost never witty,

I know these rhymes I’m writing,

Are slightly pathetic,

But Lord,

Listen to me now,

Don’t be apathetic:

I’m taking my last breath now Lord,

I’m gulping down some air,

And Lord I hope you’re waiting,

Waiting for me somewhere way up there,

Because I’ve got a question, Lord,

Just one last request:

Could make the world a better place,

Than the world I’ve known today,

For you see Lord,

(I know you see Lord,)

Someone decided to stab me in the back,

Someone decided to hurt my friends,

Someone decided to hurt my family,

Someone decided to murder me,

Today, Lord, Today

Could you make the world a happier place,

Dry the tears from the eyes of those who cry,

Cry out for love,

Cry out for tranquility,

Cry out for peace,

Cry out for joy,

Dry their tears, Lord, Dry their tears

Could you give the people of this world,

The strength,

The power,

The love,

To reform themselves,

To reform our world,

And to realize,

It’s about love,

It’s about love,

Not about gender,

Not about culture,

But about love.

But about that feeling that fills a person,

That spreads warmth through a frozen body,

That makes even the most broken person,

Work again,

That will make our broken world,

Be whole again.

It’s about you , Lord, It’s about love.

So now my last breath is done,

And I hope you’ve heard this small prayer,

And I hope you will give us power,

And I hope you will make the living people know:

That you do, truly care.
