With each passing day, my life seems to slip away. I lose those I love in more ways than one. 

I sometimes have to wonder how, do I make it each and every day. The pain in my heart grows 

stronger as each day passes, of losing those I love.  I miss them so much, I can't turn back time to 

tell them anymore how much I love them and I care.  How much longer can I stay strong when there is 

no one to help me carry this load.  Sometimes my hopes and dreams slips through the cracks. I lose 

sight of my goals. There are times that reality sets in and you know that your hopes and dreams won't 

come true. Because of those that are gone, or lost before it ever starts. 

Then I stop and think again, I have a father that is holding me

close in his arms all the time. 

He never gives up on me, so why should I give up on life.

He did not intend for me to hurt and feel all this pain.

He stands with out stretched arms waiting for me to come in.

And I think of my precious friends that I love so dearly. 

I can't forget to pray for them. 

Some are my life now, and has been for awhile.

I can say it now and let you know, I love you and this is my prayer.
