Prayers

One night I lied awake in bed and prayed
That this poor womans sickness would fade
My prayer was answered in a mysterious way
I didnt think that it would leave me mad and gray
I didnt undersand why he would do that to me
Did he not know what I asked or hear me plea
He couldnt even give me six more hours
All day I cried sitting with her flowers
How could he avoid a prayer such as mine
Did he think that everything would be fine
Why I was so mad at him I dont know
Because we all know at prayers he is a pro
He answered my prayer the best he could
And for doing that he is always missunderstood
She was suffering and couldnt get out of bed
Couldnt do anything for herself not much to live for ahead
Now when I pary I know he wont answer the way I expect
And just the fact he listens and trys I deeply respect
He answers all prayes just not how we want him to
And sometimes if he doesnt answer its the best for you
