Prayer #2
Fear and sloth, it’s time to face you
Long have we walked hand in hand
But I’ve grown now, we must part ways
Like parents you have caressed me
And I love your soothing hands on my head
This jadedness will endure no more
I ask you, like the good father and mother you are
Let your child go, we must part ways
You’ve pulled the bow string as far as it holds
You took your time aiming at the right direction
Now you have to release the arrow
Have faith in your work so far
Have faith the arrow will stay true to its path
See the beauty of it flying free
Til it falls where you hoped it to land
What better reward is there?
But for this to become, we must part ways
The tension is building up
You won’t hold much longer
If you do, we will all get hurt
I know it takes a huge leap of faith, but remember
Fear and Sloth, you raised me well. The arrow will stay true
