Pray for Me

Pray For Me

She said can you Pray for me?
Who better to pray for you then you?
To request the verbal vindication of a higher power in place of the one in need,
I pray for you I pray for you
two hands pressed. on bended knee or laying in bed looking at the ceiling
but what is it that i can say on your behalf? nothing better than you ever could.
I cant walk in your shoes I cant feel your mood,
see the ground as you jump of the building onto the pavements of lost beginning
I can only pray for what you indicate, one can only pray for what they want for you.
Pray for her, she is sick
But her soul wants to die when she has given up, no luck and her maker wants her by her side,
how can you pray one alive?
I wished the same while looking into my fathers eyes and the next night he to died.
I pray for you I'll pray that your grandson straightens up and flies right
I know you worry gangsters don't usually live long lives,
but he wants quick cash, women and status your praying for peace
he's praying that the weight of his powder is over a key
but i will continue to pray for you, just like I would want you to pray for me
send the positive energy up even if its not what i actually need or want
I need to breathe I'm closing in on a tunnel trying to find the light,
I stumble i fall I'm praying for a flashlight,
not the way out
I'm praying for success not monetary but the excitement of finding that i am not ordinary
I need peace of mind so pray for me you pray for my Sanity,
I ask for strength in me
I need love, I'm praying for support not a man
I need support not talking about fans
Paying for knowledge not praying for school
Nourishment but not food
See all I'm saying is who better to ask for what you want to receive than you
on bended knee, in serenity in peace, Pray for you
I'm praying for me
I'm praying for me
but i can pray for you to

Wonderful!

I will pray for you whether you are in need or you are going through the blues. I will pray for you because it is what I was purposed to do.

This was beautiful!
