dear lord
today i start another day
please let me remember what it was like
to stare at a sunset so red
to rest on grass wet with dew
to close my eyes and slow my heart
that moment in time, you gave me so long ago,
so long ago i've already forgotten it
so long ago i've already forsaken it
please help me remember what it was like
to stare at stars and wish for a difference
wish for dreams now in my grasp,
wish for possibilities already at my doorstep.
grant to me the peace and the simplicity
to take things for granted, again,
but this time,
help me remember
that you had sent me this far
and this far
isn't the end
of my journey.
