Thinking About A Prayer Poem by Andy Caldwell

I revisit this again
and want my time with God
to renew and to begin
I ask my God come comfort me
I no longer wish to live separately
help me lie in that green pasture
where I could hear my Father's laughter
and feel God's grace upon my face
warming and caressing me....
I'm tired of life I live in pain
take my pain from Parkinson's away
light up my soul's nights of darkness
let me know I am loved and not alone
with His rod and staff protect me
keep my dark visions at bay
reform me in His image
I don't want to be worldly
so enlighten me
and let me be just His
if He won't cure then temper me
support and strengthen me
but please do not harden me
I am made of clay please shape
and take my transgressions away
let me lay in that pasture
now and in the here after
I repeat my prayer in faith
then close my eyes to see
the glow of my Father's face
shine on me with grace
