Hey everyone. I have never posted here, yet... Might have to more often. I usually post in Teen but this poem doesn't seem to fit in on that forum. Thought I'd get everyone's opinion here. I don't know if anyone has heard of the rapper DMX on here, but he has a prayer on each CD. That is what motivated me to write this. Let me know what you think.

Lord I wanna pray, and I hope you’ll listen
Your like a diamond in my eyes, always glistenin’
And I want to let you know lord, that I thank you daily
Cause your love’s always there lord, you never play me
I always feel your presence, through the good times and the bad
The times that I was up, I know the influence you had
And the times that things went wrong I could feel your touch
I had to be taught a lesson when I strayed too much
I used to not understand this, I wanted the bliss
I was a feeble man when I would get pissed
I understand now God, all I crave is your blessing
My life’s in your hands father, I’m tired of stressing
If you don’t have faith you live life always guessing
I know that I’m not perfect lord, only you
We’re all sinners lord, that’s what we do
And I know you know that I sin more than most
I’m not proud of this fact, I would never boast
I repent unto thee, please forgive me
Lead me through the darkness so I can finally see
I want to hold your hand and let you lead
If you want to watch my love grow, plant the seed
Speak the word to me father and I will take heed
I know in this life it takes only two
Me and you, and I’ll get through
You lead and I follow
You teach and I borrow
Your pain, my sorrow
Today’s a great day, wait till tomorrow
Cause only sunshine can kill the rain
And only your love can kill my pain
Cause only your love remains the same
That’s why I pray to you in Jesus name
Amen

The kind of prayer that God wants to hear, sincere and spoke with humility.
