Things will get better



Sitting here wishing that things would change

Praying for a life that has no rain

Things will get better, I know with all my heart

It is just so hard dealing with THIS part.

I try everyday to think the best

I try everyday when I lay my head to rest.

I pray for the sick, I pray for the weak

I pray like this each and every week

I look deep inside for answers I cant find

It helps me thru like a guide dog does the blind

My deep love and compassion helps me thru

Without it I don't know what I would do.

I found in myself the strength to go on

The strength to have hope

The strength to believe

The strength I so desperately need
