Dear God, At This Crossroads

Dear God,

At this moment in my life, I seek Thee,  
In a journey full of bumps and bends,  
Though gratitude fills my heart for health, for life,  
And for this pen with which I write.

At my prime, I yearn for a breakthrough,  
My heart aches with a desire so deep,  
I’ve been a bridge for friends in need,  
Yet none has stood by me.

Thankful for being a vessel,  
I wonder why none have reciprocated,  
Seeking light to guide my path,  
Desperate for a major breakthrough.

My heart is weary, my body tired,  
The will to continue feels almost gone,  
I ask for a chance, a reason to go on,  
Or else, the will to live may fade away.

Give me that chance, that glimmer of hope,  
To move forward, to find my worth,  
Or I fear that without it,  
I may end this journey, my spirit worn.
