A Prayer

Give me the words, oh god
Let them not fail me
Let your creative power just touch
A small portion of my spirit.
Open the eyes of my understanding
To convey through the gift youve given me
The clear message you want to send
Let it touch the minds of those who chose to read.
Let a seed of thought enter their minds
Let it blossom in their souls
Have your way, oh Lord
Have your way. Amen
