I dropped to my knees this morning
I prayed for everyone in my homestate last year.I prayed for everyone in my homestate this year.
I prayed for the emotional well being of the children who lived through Katrina.
I prayed for the souls of all of those who were lost.
I prayed for those who survived and were left with nothing.
I prayed for those who cannot face returning and I prayed for those who never left.
I prayed for the rebuilding of the spirit of my people.
I prayed for the economic revitalization of my homestate.
I prayed that everyone will quit bickering and blaming and come together to find solutions.
I prayed for strength during this upcoming hurricane season.
I prayed for the guilt I still feel for not being there when my friends and family needed me the most.
I prayed a prayer of thanks for the outpouring of support those in need received from fellow Americans.
I just prayed.
It is the least I can do.
