A prayer for the future

Life is like a journey and I am the traveler

But this journey does not come with a map

Walk with me, God, let me follow your lead.

So I´ll be able to finish the very last lap

 

There are so many paths waiting for me to walk them. 

Help me to now which one is the right.

And when I see struggles marching towards me.

Help me to not be afraid and take up the fight.

This time, God, is difficult. I have a lot of "creators"

working all night and all day

Parents, teachers, friends, and others

all of them want to have their own say

And as I can see my personality building

Be my foundation, the very first stone

And when there is a storm coming, keep me from falling

and never leave me alone

My titles will change. Now I have many.

Friend, student, teenager, child.

Prepare me for the changes, help me fit in.

So I don´t freak out and go totally wild.

So please hold my hand, God, and show me the way

So I can become perfect seen through your eyes

And someday when my journey is over

Please let me join you up there in the skies.

Amen.
