The Pretender

I have struggled a lot the last two weeks for many reasons. I awoke yesterday and got ready to pray. As I was brushing my teeth, out of the blue, the lyrics at the end of a song from my adolescent years broke into my mind. They have sat there for the last 48 hours....O that they would not be true of me....nor of you.

"Are you there...?
Say a prayer for the pretender
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender...."

Jackson Browne
