Forgotten Prayer

I don't want to forget You
In my busy, distracting days
I don't want to dismiss You
As if You're in the way

I want to call out to You
And I stumble on my words
Once I try to talk to You
All else becomes a blur

I am Your hungry child
Thirsting for Your love
In my humble home
My soul hasn't had enough

Each day the sun comes up
I forget what I'm doing here
I need You, Father
Please accept my prayer
