            Dear God, please send 
            me a blessing in disguise. 
            So that my life would be appreciated fairly, and not trivialized... 
             
            I pray to thee, please bless me with a gift, and take away this 
            curse. 
            Give me a reason to smile, which I have deprived from the moment of 
            my birth... 
             
            I feel lost, and can't help but feel utterly alone. 
            Each and everyone has someone to call theirs, but I have none to 
            call my own... 
             
            I want to smile with love, and feel the tenderness of its warm kiss. 
            I want to escape the depth of poverty, and find a love that is true 
            and rich... 
             
            God, will you help me be at ease, is all of my life's struggles? 
            Will there be a way for me to get out, through all my troubles...? 
             
            If so, then please gift me with happiness, and heal my peeving scar. 
            So that I may believe my wish did come true, a wish I had made long 
            ago, on that one bright star...
