Prayer

If I'm happy and I'm sad,

If it's night and it's day,

If I'm fine yet I'm mad,

Talk with nothing to say,

Do I laugh, do I cry?

Do I sleep, do I wake?

Do I smile, do I sigh?

What choice do I make?

Got to live my own life

God put me in this world

Got to deal with my own strife

A responsible girl

But don't know how to feel

Want to clear up this mess

Should I drop down and kneel

And do what I do best?

Terri,

I have questioned my faith on more than one occasion.But,the truth is,'I just don't know'.

I do know that our beliefs,no matter what our faith may be,are a way of hope and inspiration to enter our lives and,therefore,the lives of others.

This is another great piece by you,This will also be one of my favorite poems by you.
