Losing Faith


the little girl bows her head bow your head, pray for your heart pray for your soul it beats in rich wine within your breast pray to your savior pray to your savior for salvation know the words the faces and his ways know your savior better than you know yourself But do not lose your mind because you are a gift your are ideas wrapped in beauty surrounded by air there are no rules you cannot break beautiful words are your prayer. hold on as tightly as you held on me the women bow in fear in hope in patient desperation she holds to hope grasps her gratitude What do you pray for? the little girl who bows her head.

My father is a minister so prayer has had many different meanings to me. It's interesting to think about the way religion changes families in good and bad ways.
