Not to take anything of my last prayer back, but this one is very honest in my feelings, and so I wanted to write it in here.

My Jesus, thank You for the prayer chapel and prayer garden. It awakens the poetic part of me. Thank You for poetry. Thank You for all the beauty You created just for us.

My Jesus, the most beautiful thing I can think of right now has naught to do with nature, but is often what enhances nature's beauty. It's the love between a young man and woman that is meant to last forever.

My Jesus, I long for that kind of beauty. I've known many beautiful things in my life, but not this one. My dear Jesus, can You bring me that gem? That crown jewel? That binder of everything? Dear Jesus, I long for love. Teach me to know Your love so I can be patient as I wait.

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
