A Prayer for Your Smile

God,

I’m not sure if tomorrow

will choose to be kind

or dig deeper into these scars.

—

But I know exactly how you’ll be tomorrow.

You’re gonna smile again.

Like you do every day.

—

I just haven’t felt your warm embrace.

All of me has grown numb from life’s

bitter winds.

—

But there’s always tomorrow.

—

Here’s to hoping the morning

will come and defrost

what’s been frozen.
