I could not carry the load alone,
I needed help, could not
do it on my own,
So, I turned to God daily in prayer
And begged for help, trusting
He would be there.
 
The burden was lifted and
the load grew light,
As I took time daily to change my life,
Let go of hurts that were long past,
And give thanks for blessings
strewn along life's path.
 
Change didn't come easy,
and I sometimes fell back.
Feeling sorry for myself, I
would cry and ask,
