The Prayer

oh God, if you exist
this is my prayer to you

give me the strength to go on
even after i think i can't
show me the way when darkness blinds
and let the blindness never be inside

hold my hand when i get too lonely
bequest me the poise to stand alone
let me not be lost in pretentions
and ever be obscured in a charade

let me always feel the sorrows
i need not happiness
which is based on others woes

let me not find fault outside me
for the biggest folly is the one inside
let me not be lost in a mirage
and bestow the courage to face the truth

i know , to hate is easy
but show me that to love is easier

show me the way when darkness shrouds
and the ray behind the darkest clouds
confer the fortitude to tame the tears
and the sensitivity not ever to be the cause

let me change, and only for better
but not alter when in truth.
