A Prayer In The Summer Of My Life Poem by Gert Strydom

A Prayer In The Summer Of My Life



Lord, I ask that you bless the days
where the summer of my life starts
that You pour out the blue-white thunder and rain
generous into my life.
Give that I in maturity win
against every resistance of my own will
and that I selflessly love my darling,
please cover the sin of my youth,
draw out the summer of my later years
and bring the two of us closer to each other.
