Just for today, I’ll push all the pain away...

Dear God

It’s me again.
I’m sorry I don’t call on You,
As often as I should.

But You know my struggles-
And You know I really trust no one.
The aches and wounds of yesterday;
Afflict me still, my every waking hour.
I’m trying so hard to keep my head above water,
But sometimes still, I feel I’m going down for the last time.
But just for today, I promise to trust in You.
Just for today, I’ll push all the pain away.
Just for today, I’ll love You back.
Just for today, I’ll talk to You all day.
Just for today, I’ll accept I can survive,
Because it’s You and me, together.

"There was a child went forth every day, and the first object he looked upon and recieved with wonder or pity or love or dread, that object he became... And that object became part of him for the day... or for many years or stretching cycles of years." Walt Whitman
