I say a prayer

Thanking God for being there

I prepare for another journey

Meant for me only

I learn all I can

It’s part of God’s plan

I cherish every day

In a very special way

And everything becomes clear

As my destiny looms near

In the nighttime

I think of dreams

That make me burst at the seams

I count the blessings granted

And the seeds I planted

I think of the love I know

And ways I can grow

The strength I gain

After every summer rain

The purpose I see

Being the best I can be

Learning from the past

Making every moment last

And remembering my prime

In the nighttime
