I Said a Prayer

I said a prayer for my fellowmen, The world needs people who’re Gentle, kind, fair, want the same For self and others too. I said a prayer for my family, To be trusting, loyal, honest, Supportive, understanding, defending Branches on the Family Tree. I said a prayer for old time friends, Now having thoughts different from Yesterday, where loyalty, interest In same things erupted the atmosphere. I said a prayer for acquaintances Once sharing ideas, future plans; Have we all met them in the self same way, Or did agendas drastically change with time? I said a prayer for Christian selves, Who having been born not of woman, But of Spirit under the Blood of Christ; Striving without bias to do the best we could I said a prayer for lower creatures, The land and universe in which we live. Care-takers we all are of God’s Earthly Gift Of life to live down here!
