A Prayer for Him

Wow, finally I got the opportunity to update this blog. Been so busy since last semester. This time I would like to share a little bit of my writing. I'm not good in literature but I'm learning to be good in it.

Here is something from me. I wrote this one not so long ago for a special friend who is really meaningful for me. He had been through a lot and his stories never fail to inspire me and he really did teach me a lot on what it takes to be a faithful Christian...to be firm and always believe in the promise the Lord has made for us no matter how unfair the world can be. This one is for you dear friend.

I pretended I didn’t saw him.
He pretended he didn’t saw me.
I pretended I didn’t care.
I don’t know if he even care.

I pretended to be strong,
hoping to see him getting stronger.
I don’t know how,
sometimes I really believe that I’m strong.
In fact, I’m not.
He made me feel that way,
which he didn’t know.

He pretended to be strong.
He said he’s alright.
He smiled and laughed,
like there’s nothing in his way.

But I looked at him from afar,
I saw his scar.
Red and deep like there’s no end.
I saw that from afar.

Something told me to hold him tight,
in my prayers day and night,
to stay by his side.
Although he doesn’t know that,
I don’t mind.

How I wish I could hug him tight,
because I heard his soul screaming.
I wish to see him cry.
So hard so loud like never before,
and then no more.
Yes no more.

May he’ll be healed.
He’ll be fixed.
The broken heart mended,
the empty space be filled.
For what a great soul he has I tell you.

May he finds the things he searched for.
May he succeed.
May he’ll get through,
the pain, the lost, the truth.

This is what I prayed for.
Because I’ve seen quite enough,
how he struggled so hard,
from the beginning wishing it to end.
