Despite The Lack Of Faith

There was something else I had not tried.
A friend suggest it.  “It couldn’t hurt.”
It was something I did not well.
Something I did once before
when a loved one had died.
So now here I am again
in a time of desperation and need.
What if it helps?
What if it doesn’t?
I remember the advice.
“It couldn’t hurt.”

I think about how much she means to me.

*sigh*

I walk to the foot of my bed,
gently fall to my knees
and begin to pray.
