Unopened Gift.

Sometimes we cross paths with people whom we care for. But, it comes to show that they don't realize how much love we have to give; or recognize a friendship we have to offer. Rather, they have conformed with other persons whom don't always have the best effect on them.

With that I said, I've always held strong with my prayers and praying. In retrospect, I should have prayed for them a decade ago..maybe even before I met them. I caught up with something that my priest says after the Lords Prayer, and that is: "Let us pray for the ones who have no one to pray for them". I really took this to heart and built upon this everyday.

Currently I have a few friends who aren't heading down the right path, in my eyes, and I continue to pray for them. I find it in my heart to accept what they are putting themselves into, and letting go; for it is not my responsibility of their actions. Although this kills me to see a friend lowly intoxicate themselves to unnecessary measures, physically, I have no motion to make a difference. So for you friends, I'll be praying. Whether you appreciate me as a friend or not, I'll try my best to catch you when and if you fall. I'm always here. You may never know that, but I am.

With Love,

Mariann
