Answered Prayers Poem by sammie kelley

Every night I prayed to God
Before I went to sleep
To find someone who'd give me their heart
And then take mine to keep
The empty feeling in my soul
Left me without a clue
That God would answer all my prayers
And bring me a blessing like you
Now every morning when I wake
I feel I'm living again
Knowing that I have found someone
Who's my lover and my friend
I forgot about the tear filled times
When I thought I'd never be loved
Now all I remember are my answered prayers
Due to faith in the Lord above
