Prayer

I was cold, despite the blankets
I shivered in pain, and sorrow
Begging you in prayer
Asking you to give me something
More
Because I was slowly losing
My
a
b
ility to
       Hold
           onto

       the narrow
part of
The ledge
I said
Please
Give me one more
           tomorrow
Deliver me from the devil's lair
Dear God
I promise to be more trusting
I'll give to the poor
Honestly I will
But what if
I thought
That to actually fall
You land
In outstretched arms
Where there is beauty
And peace
In eternity's garden
