Poetry.....Beginning To End

Living On A Prayer

I paid no attention

To the highest high

The everlasting lord

Until I needed strength

I needed hope

The will to carry on.

He was ignored

Until the day

When all hell broke loose

And I needed someone to fall back on

To share my world of worries.

He was forgotten

Till I heard the diagnosis

That I would not live to see a new year

But then I turned to Him

Put my trust in Him

And became His loyal follower.

I am His servant

For He helped me through

Hard times in my life.

The Almighty

Healed me

And doctors were shocked

And I prayed.

Now

Three years later

I am alive and well.

Because I prayed

And still I pray.

Now

I say

I am living on a prayer.
