    My Prayer

    Break me.

    Put me on my knees,
    where I can find that life
    is not about me.

    Break me.

    Show me that life
    can suffer a bruising
    and get back up.

    Break me.

    Mold me into
    the sculpture I can be
    from the lump I am.

    Break me.

    Show me the beauty of friendship,
    hands grasping mine,
    pulling me up.

    Break me.

    Let me grow beyond
    the shell of myself,
    rising to heights unseen.
