Prayer

I ask of you not a lot For I rarely ask at all And it's only when there is no other And the world I fear may fall So as I kneel before you It is your help I'm begging for Please Lord extend your arms To the ill, the homeless and the poor I pray you will look after them Keep them warm at night Please Lord help them find their strength Give them courage to stand and fight I rarely ask for anything But the world it is starting to fall Poverty is among us Lord So please Lord bless us all 18/08/2016

He can not help until we ask...and the ultimate asking--beyond living words, selfless thoughts and actions--is do all for love. Great inspirational read! Thank you!!
