What Time Is It?
What time is it when life seems hollow
and it is mundane....tedious, more of
the same day after day after day......
It's time to pray.
What time is it when life
knees us squarely in the gut
or we just can't get out of the rut?
It's time to pray.
What time is it when we
simply need some rest....
and we can't seem to give our best?
It's time to pray.
What time is it when we
need to make amends....
to get things right with friends?
It's time to pray.
What time is it when it seems
like we are chasing after the wind?
Like there is no way way we can win....
It's time to pray.
What time is it when it
feels like we are on the ropes
and there really is no hope?
It's time to pray.
What time is it when
we know we've gone astray...
now there's a brick wall in the way.
It's time to pray.
What time is it when we
feel like we are all alone?
Our heartbeat but a faint drone...
It's time to pray.
What time is it when
we feel like giving up?
Don't even drink from that cup!
It's time to pray.
What time is it when we are
too concerned about our will?
It's time to ...... be still
and know that He is God!
So what in this poem am
I really trying to say?
More often than not....
IT'S TIME TO PRAY !!!
