my second ever prayer to the Lord
fiction
edward w pritchard
Lord, I am just a speck in all your magnificence of creation
yet I have managed to fall short of my potential
head in the clouds and feet in quicksand
for the second time I come to you in prayer, this time for myself.
The first time you promptly delivered but at a cost I shudder to remember.
Now I ask again.
Having passed on to the future
the miracle of life
direct my steps, motivate my daily activity,
guide me through the last group of days of my brief existence
to redeem myself in your eyes and bloom one time before final decay.
