MY UNANSWERED PRAYER

Oh, Lord, what is wrong with me?

Why can't I find love

And live the rest of my days being happy?

Where is my "Mr. Right"

That people say is out there for everyone

That I can't seem to find?

People say I'm neither ugly or fat,

But pretty with a good personality;

So where is my knight in shining armor at?

I'm tired of being lonely and scared,

Not having my own special someone in my life

Is what I most fear.

I've been waiting now for several years,

Always looking and wondering if this one is him,

Only to create my own waterfall with my tears.

I'm not asking that he be rich or smart,

Just someone who can see me on the inside

And love me not with their mind, but with their heart.

Today, I fall before You on my knees,

Asking that you send me someone to love

Like the love I shared with Keith;

He saw me as no other had ever seen,

He loved and cared for me like other had done,

But most of all, he respected me

And treated me like a lady.

I'm only asking this of You

Because I know You see deep in people's hearts

And when You look into mine,

You know what I feel for Keith is true.

Lord, please help me find that love in another-

That special love that he and I once shared-

I will pray this to You every night for as long as it takes

And maybe when I find this special someone,

He will someday make me his wife.
