dont give up . . . .

cream at orange, canon 20 d
im not sure what to make of praying anymore, but i still do it.
and lately, the list of those im praying for seems to be getting
bigger and bigger.
right now, the majority of my friends are going through
some sort of major transition. its been a rough time....
tonight ,while checking out the moon, the song
"dont give up" by peter gabriel came on.
and in that moment, i so wished i
could be allowed to take god's place, just for 5 minutes,
so i could whip up some well needed miracles.
ah well....
instead, i prayed. and i prayed.
and i put these words on my silly
little blog, hoping maybe the eyes
of my friends
would come across
these words and thoughts,... and perhaps
find comfort in knowing there is one
who cares deeply for the condition of their heart.
so....for M, and F, and M, and J, and G, and D, and D, and C,
and L, and J, ...this is for you.
Dont give up
'cause you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not beaten yet
Dont give up
I know you can make it good...
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up
We dont need much of anything
Dont give up
'cause somewhere theres a place
Where we belong...
Rest your head
You worry too much
Its going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Dont give up
Please dont give up...
Dont give up
'cause you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not the only one
Dont give up
No reason to be ashamed
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up now
Were proud of who you are
Dont give up
You know its never been easy
Dont give up
'cause I believe theres the a place
Theres a place where we belong....
