Days have gone by since I cried out God! Why?

Tears, time, understanding all the layers

Deciding it was time to give another try

Thank God I was in someone’s prayers

Darkened skies may follow me too often

The big old world can supply plenty of scares

But the worst of fears people like you soften

With all your faith in God and your prayers

And although I may never be canonized

I hope to one day get to the top of the stairs

I think St. Peter will see a man who tried

And did his best to say his prayers

I was raised to respect and honor family

Was blessed with one that loves and cares

We went to church and listened to the homily

We kissed our Mom and before bed said our prayers

This is where I come from

And it’s pretty clear to see where I’m going

Join the others in the kingdom

In the world all shiny and glowing

My past guides my future, the history

Just who were all the players?

That helped me to understand the mystery

All revealed through faith and prayers
