I SAID A PRAYER YESTERDAY

Tears rolling down my eyes
As I question my path
Tears rolling down my eyes
As I question what I have become

I said a prayer yesterday
Wanting the tears to dry
Hopefully no more would I cry
I said a prayer yesterday

I said a prayer yesterday
longing to clear my doubt
of unbroken generational curses
If I finally made it out
If the verses have helped like nurses
When the new future will sprout

I said a prayer yesterday
Of gratitude for the new attitude
mixed with the new outlook
A prayer realizing my life’s beatitude
I said a prayer yesterday and said Amen as I closed the Book
