Dear God

~~@2016, Angela Wilcox
Sometimes you just end up back where you started.

I sit beside my bed tonight
Hands folded and eyes closed
Remembering simpler days gone by
Here, I am now, ready and posed

I pray that this next year in life
Will be one of my best
That I will not forget this year
The lessons and the tests

I pray for peace within my heart
For healing from above
My soul seeks to rejoice again
To sing and dance and love

I pray that I can be each day
A light, a beacon bright
Helping others find a way
Through dark and endless nights

When my eyes are closed each day
I have one last request
For a heart that overflows with love
And a quiet soul that rests
