Watercolor Prayers

A teal-blue
gradient sky
in the west
interrupted by
one small star

Reminding me
that the sun has set
on yet another day

And with an
open heart and
an ever-present hope
I say a little prayer
alone on this
country road

For you


For the empty seat
in my life that
you will one day fill

For patience
and strength

For moments like
this perfect sky

For faith

For thanksgiving
and a God that
paints sunsets
in watercolor
