A Prayer

I've forgotten how to pray.

As I have stopped to rest
On your shoulders,
I slept,
And dreamt of odd things
But never of You.
I listen hard
But hear only my voice.
Calling out
Hoping
That You'd save me one more time.

Have I slipped to far,
And grown too old?
Has my heart stopped loving,
As I know I've loved before?

Teach me how to hear.
Show me How to rest.
I'm too tired to figure things out on my own,
Too tired of being old.

Teach me to trust again,
To live again.

Teach me to love,
For I want to know,
how to love you best.
