How Should I Pray

by Rdfrdmom2

Lord,

You invite me
to learn to be thankful
in every circumstance ~

how

much must I trust
to honestly do that -
to sleep without worrying?

Should

I smile through tears
in spite of quaking heart
as I await test results?

I

admit my fears;
even as I give You
the issue, I feel I must

pray

the biopsy
proves this little nodule
is in no way cancerous.




Wrote this while awaiting the results of a breast biopsy (which came back fine). The poem within the poem is "Lord, how shall I pray?" This poem format is called a lexibridge, one I designed for my granddaughter, Lexi, when she was a baby, The lexibridge is written in the following format:
line 1: 4 syllables
line 2: 6 syllables
line 3: 7 syllables

bridge

repeat lines 1, 2 and 3
then add another bridge The poem may begin with a bridge or may end with a bridge (both or neither) as determined by the author. The bridge may make a separate verse of its own but is not a requirement.

A special thanks to Barb Baker for the use of "Believe in Prayer" to enhance this writing.
