During the Hardest Days

During the hard times
When life seems unfair,
To confirm convictions
So that I can begin to understand
Better, even a little better,
I write

During the hardest days
When the pain of loss is greatest,
I pray for strength and patience
For a sign of hope,
That I can make the days ahead
Better, even a little better,
I pray

Better, even a little better,
I write
Better, even a little better,
I pray

Beautiful repetition. A strong image.
Working to make your situation better by writing and prayer.
I pray you are well.
