sketching rhymes

some say courage
is the answer to a prayer
another sweet addition
to the layers and layers

to the one they call a savior

but i say courage
is something thats learned
not given, but gained
after years of being burned

and i yearn for the days when i love

and i praise
someone i cant see
but i still say grace
for every day

and i give him my needs

i give him my pleasures
when i feel greed
i still say my prayers
i ask for forgiveness

i ask for pursuit

when i desire
i understand not seeing fruit
i love without power
i love without praise

and when i see mercy

i thank for days
