A Prayer In Hardship Poem by Vanessa Alvarez

I wish that all whose burdens weigh,
May find them lighter day by day.
That every soul in need of care,
Receive the love that waits out there.

Though I myself have little share,
No wealth to give, no gifts to spare,
I lift my voice, my hands, my plea,
To God who hears our misery.

And when the trials come like rain,
May strength arise amidst the pain.
For every heart that struggles through,
May courage bloom, and hope renew
