A prayer

Lord, Give me strength,
To keep my eyes open
When the night gets too dark,
To clench my fists,
When all hands let go,
To calm my nerves,
When all the rest boil,
To hear words unheard,
When the noise drowns all,
To wipe tears dried,
When rain washes all,
To listen to words unsaid,
When none speak at all,
To keep moving on,
When I realise I'm alone.
