Analysis of In My Prayers.
Your name is a frequent one,
one that's often said,
at night when I speak to god,
just before I go to bed.
You see- I know I'm blessed,
to have someone like you,
I could have never guessed,
that we'd survive what we've been through.
Yet we have and here we stand,
much stronger than we were,
and problems weren't planned,
but what a purpouse they have served.
Now we're just like steel,
welded together,
but with a softness underneath,
I know we'll last forever.
But just incase I say a prayer,
every single night,
and after I say my thanks for you,
I ask to keep you in my life.
I hope that god is listening,
to my deepest needs,
because my future'll be glistening,
if you're in it with me.
So you're always in my prayers,
although you say we'll never end,
I still pray to keep you there,
my love and my best friend.
