Pray

Tonight, quietly I pray,

I ask

not for larger or grander

nor for ecstasy or delight,

but simply -

that I may not be

broken too badly

to survive, to continue

another day.

Quietly, painfully

enduring

what has passed

and what remains

hoping, to start anew

for tomorrow is another day

tomorrow I will try again

but tonight,

for courage I pray..
