Please Hear Our Prayer

I thought,"What should we say here," And much to my surprise, A drop of rain fell from the heavens And landed by my side. I watched the little miracle, Noticed how it spread, Sharing so unshelfishly The moisture it could give. Just then the sun peeked through a cloud The earth did smell so sweet, A tiny, tiny wild flower Opened at my feet. Tree leaves began to dance As a little breeze passed by, While blades of grass reach and stretch Toward the cloudy sky. On a geometric pattern, Called a spider web, Little drops of silver Shine above my head. A sassy little Mockingbird Scolded from the fence, Doing crazy antics That didn't make much sense. Across the little pasture A rabbit quickly fled Trying to out run The neighbor's dog called Red. As I looked around me, In my heart I knew We could never hope to speak The words to heal your wound. So I wrote this poem To ask the Lord above To shower you with his treasurers To show His strength and Love. Cile Beer written 2002
