As I kneel...

I kneel here tonight 

with unspoken words and 

unshed tears. 

I kneel here tonight 

with a heavy heart and a 

mind that I can't 

seem to quiet. 

The love you seek 

is not so very far from 

your grasp. 

Why is it, 

that we seek love 

from those who will only 

cause us pain? 

Why do we hold on to that 

which we should let go?

Here I kneel, 

a silent prayer 

sent to heaven in the hopes

that it will be heard. 

I wonder, 

as I kneel here tonight, 

why this journey

can't be 

easy for us. 

Why is it that we 

have to take all these wrong

turns to find 

what each of us seeks. 

When all along 

it is right there,

if only we should look. 

If only we should 

be brave enough to peek. 

One day 

it may be too late. 

The one you want 

is not the one you seek, 

but as I kneel here 

tonight, 

wondering what 

to pray, 

I know that God is sitting 

in heaven, 

already knowing 

what is being 

asked. 

Words that my heart 

is to afraid

to let my mouth 

speak into words.
He knows the desires of 

my heart and if they are

aligned with His will,

with faith

and

trust, that one 

desire will be mine. 

Amen.
