THE PRAYER

Where have i seen you, have i seen you before, how is it i know you,

Do you recognize this forever searching man as he seeks the path.?

I’ve strayed away from where it is i belong, not as lost as before,

Show me the kind hearted one who will walk with me as i search.

I’ve discovered and I’ve lost but throught it all much has been gained,

The miracle i have sought has not been for me granted at this time.

But perhaps a gift not chosen is the right and chosen gift handed to me,

Prayed have i for peace, happiness, and love, i watched for it day and night.

Do i not listen and am i possibly a bit clouded in these eyes of mine,

Are these things of want circling me always as my heart is closed.?

I’ve taken a step back from those whom may show care and concern,

I’m unsure and confused of which are friend or foe, how will i know.?

Some of those whom mean the most to me are not here, do not appear,

I am here, sometimes a little bit lonely, i await a soul who might care.
