ME, ME, ME (RVD)

I OFTEN WONDER 
IF JUST SOMETIMES
GOD THINKS I'M TOO NEEDY, WHINY,
FALLING ON MY KNEES,
THINKING AND PRAYING 
FOR ONLY ME
WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS
ON THIS PLANET 
WITH SO MANY NEEDS.
YET I CONTINUE 
TO PRAY 
CONTINUOUSLY
FOR ME.
WHICH IS NOT TO SAY
THAT I DON'T TAKE THE TIME
TO THINK AND PRAY
FOR OTHERS,
EVEN PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN KNOW
BECAUSE I AM REMINDED 
BY MY MOTHER
THAT EVEN THOUGH 
I DON'T LIKE 
THOSE WHO ARE IN CONTROL
I MUST STILL PRAY FOR THEM
TO SEE THE LIGHT
AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT
BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OF US
DEPENDING ON THEM
TO KEEP US ALIVE.
