A Life's Prayer

DIONNE A. REID

A Life's Prayer  
Dionne A. Reid

Almighty powers full of health, wealth, and strength
Lend me your love, peace, and compassion for my life's length

In my imperfections, the minute it will come
I plead for your forgiveness, and your pardon

From the darkness of the night, to the rise of the Sun
I pray for each, along with protection, and wisdom

Amen
