BIRTHDAY PRAYER

This is a poem I wrote for my Birthday!!


Today starts a new year in my life
To those near me
Let them share in my joy
Let this day be a turning point in my life
A change for the better
Leaving behind the bad
The childish and wrong doing
Let me be more matured
In dealing with life
Let betterness shine on me
Let today being my birth date
Make me a new person
May it bring me good luck for now
And always
Also let it give to others near me
Good luck also
The light of the lord shine on me
Shine on me i say and guard me
From all my foes
Guide me in the right path
Let me not go astray
Hold me in your right hand
That i do not fall
Teach me to love more than i do now
Point the way that i shall follow
Be my beginning and end
Let the whole world know
See and believe
That in me their lives
The lord everlasting
Let me hear news of good tiding with
Respect to life
Let me continue to grow in health and in you
Let those that seek my downfall stumble
May they be removed from thy sight
Let me prosper in their presence so that they
Would see that i serve a living god
Because i have a father let me conquer
Because he liveth let me shed no more tears
Let me be able to face anything put in my way
Let my light shine
Let me be showered with thy goodness and mercies
Remove from my life sorrow, suffering and hunger
Let those that make fun of me swallow their laugher
Let me laugh, oh lord
Because he who laughs last laughs the most
Make know to me today the aim of my existence
Don’t just leave me to wonder and float
Like someone without a destination
Let me achieve all the goals
I have laid down for myself
Anything that would destroy my end
Remove and lead me on
‘my god said unto my lord,
Sit at my right hand until i make thy enemies
Thy footstool’
Let this saying apply to me
Let me live, see tomorrow and days after
Let me have sunshine in my life
And take away the winter
Let me move in the direction that leads
To life everlasting and not sorrow
Let me have peace and those around me
For my god is the king of peace
Make my day
I have chosen a career
Let me be able to move in that direction
Do not let me be deceived by men
From today let me be a good child to my parents
And also to my elders
Let me be obedient so that i do not fall along the way
Let me be able to carry my cross
O lord, don’t let it weigh me down
Let your joy, which is everlasting be my strength
Let me not strive in vain
And do not allow ill wind to blow my way
Light and darkness do not move together
Therefore light my way
That i do not hit my foot against a stone
