Full Circle
I pray for you a million times
anger and fear still bubble in my heart
for you hold up a mirror to my flaws
nightly wicked dreams of retaliation
anger and fear still bubble in my heart
dagger of betrayal plunged deep
nightly wicked dreams of retaliation
no band-aid for a wound so bloody
dagger of betrayal plunged deep
forgiveness for a wound worth healing
no band-aid for a victim so bloody
search in earnest for a life worth living
forgiveness for a wound worth healing
change the course of soul so precious
search in earnest for a life worth living
find a way out of the land of cruelty
change the course of soul so precious
open heart and hand extended
walking out of the land of cruelty
I pray for you a million times

Whoa, there’s a prayer, wow, brilliant, amazing.
Will read a couple more times to see the poem. But as a prayer, holy Moses, saving it.
Ha, very similar to one I’m working on, a pantoum too, Putting Down the Shield.
