Evening Prayer

It’s a gray day,

then an even grayer night;

like the sky before it rains;

like your eyes

when you are lost

in your own thoughts;

and at night before sweet sleep surrender,

i find

that all my prayers

are for you:

that you may find happiness

though in the end

i’m not a part of it,

that loving you

would one day

cease

to hurt,

that soon a star

may shine

through all the clouds

you’ve wrapped around you,

for the chance to catch you smile,

for heaven to keep you safe,

and for the power

to walk into your dreams

the way you do

in mine.

Amen.
