In my prayers I have asked for a lot over the years
Many things that I asked for now frivolous appear
Going forward, the one thing for which I shall pray
Is clarity of thought to come my way
Confusion, indecisiveness, lack of confidence
Have dominated me so far with their presence
Swinging me in different directions constantly
But I just want to move forward with clarity..
*
To have a clear vision, to be able to ignore
The voices all around that confuse me more
To weed through the superfluous stuff to see
The bottomline, and to use it to advance purposefully…
To not be distracted by the many things that compete
For my attention, to be able to confidently delete
From my mind information that is meaningless
Such that the important facts I am able to process..
*
To every distraction in life attention I used to pay
That would unnecessarily burden my mind; now I pray
To gain focus, such that my mind can see
The bull’s eye, and nothing else in its vicinity.
