Pray

All you have to do is pray.

No more standing around waiting for the day.

That day will never come,

Unless you talk to the man from above.

People don’t want to believe,

Yet we are all as happy as can be.

Only if we understand the true meaning of thee.

Not the ones who show up when they feel like it,

Not the ones who bad mouth His name,

Not the ones who commit those sins knowing they are in vein.

But the ones who sacrifice,

Their time,

Their talents,

And their will to carry on.

Those who follow His path and live His word.

Those who believe without seeing,

Those with true faith,

Those are the ones who are happy everyday.

So you can pretend that those airplanes are shooting stars,

And make your wish right now.

But wishes that come true don’t fill your tank of happiness,

Only a temporary joy.

Fantasies are far from reality,

Things you only see on the big screen.

Movies and Hollywood make them seem you can chase a dream.

You can run for years and not find joy.

But you can sacrifice your time and pray to the Lord.

You can say that it’s boring,

And nothing will happen,

But I know that praying will open those doors for great things to happen.

Lucky…some might say,

But I just look at it as the Lord blessing me along the way.
