Prayers of a female child.

Dear lord, keep me today

Dear lord, help me in every way

Dear lord, set my path right

Dear lord, protect me with your sight

These are the prayers of a female child.

Dear lord, have mercy upon my soul

Dear lord, cleanse me and make me whole

Dear lord, shine forth your light

Dear lord, take control of my night

These are the prayers of a female child.

Dear lord, please guide my heart

Dear lord, masterpiece it like art

Dear lord, cover my eyes from wrong

Dear lord, build my will to be strong

These are the prayers of a female child.

Each time she kneels to pray

This routine she comes to say

A young girl with a love for God so wild

These are the prayers of this female child.

Train Journey

"Are we there yet?" she asked, anxiety had overwhelmed her to the core. 

she had been preparing for this interview for over a year and finally the day had come. 

The train journey of about 4 hours did not help the situation on ground.

"Mommah, are we there yet?" she looked at the tired pale woman with beautiful hair across her"

"Christie, not yet sweety, just try and relax" replied the woman.

As Christie drifted off to sleep, she thought of her interview at the worlds' best opera house in Sydney. All her hard work for over a year would finally pay off she hoped. Her palms got sweaty and she jerked up in shock as the train came to her screeching sound. FINALLY, they had arrived.

Looking back as the train proceeded to its next destination, she thought of how short the journey was but how long it seemed. 

"How weird, what a journey!" she said, as she linked hands with her mother who only shook her head and smiled.

What will you do?

Round and round we go.....
Never turning to see the old man sleeping on the bench
Never noticing that corporate begger on the street
Never imagining  the cruelty of humanity
"Ouch" she cried as he grabbed her hands tight
The world at a glance is slowly transforming
What would you do? 

Growing up with a silver spoon
Showering all the wealth selfishly
Never thinking of that homeless boy 5blocks away
Never helping that sickler with no means of protection
The world is at large truly changing 
What must you do?

I must fight 
I must strive
I must soar
I must survive
What will you do?
