a little prayer

It is hard to believe that now when I pray,
I pray for a normal temperature
a day with minimal pain and discomfort.

I pray that the Angels Michael and Raphael
surround me and protect me under their wings
and help me through another day ...

Now when I pray
I pray for myself rather than for others,
and yet I still feel guilty
but at this time
I need to be caring and looking after myself ...

when I thought of a time for me
this was not what I thought
I thought of warm sunny beaches
southern night time skies
and spending time in warm tranquil waters ...

but now
it is forcing myself to eat
to remain positive
to think of tomorrow and next week
next month
and even better to think of next year
and the next ten years ...

and so goes my days ...
in thought and prayer.
