SAID I

What can I do, said I to the Lord

thats special for you today

and the voice came back so strong and sweet

get down on your knees and pray

 

Pray for peace in all of the world

and pray for the sins of your soul

pray for all suffering people and things

and make that your ultimate goal

 

But I pray every day, said I to the Lord

I pray for my family and my friends

then the answer came back so soft and low

bow down and pray again

 

Pray for the rain and pray for the sun

and the light of the sparkling stars

pray for all tall trees and for family love

and the sweet music of old guitars

 

Pray for the flowers that grow in the field

and small pebbled babbling streams

and store them away for another day

for they are the most precious of things

 

Pray for the special love of a friend

or a soulmate so good and so true

pray for the world, for it's a trifle sad

and it might be made better by you

 

And then all my arguiements were put into place

my worries all answered and done

said I to the Lord, how awesome you are

and you are the most holy one

 

Then He said, Oh my child, just listen to me

and never ever be afraid

so I rested my case and said no more

and got down on my knees and prayed

Very Nice

Very nice and very sweet. A good lesson to those who feels they pray "enough" because they ask for prosperity and good fortune for their loved ones. Heck even i'm guilty of it sometimes. I enoyed this poem very much.
