Did Pray On Dull and Dreary Day

Did Pray on Dull and Dreary Day
Horn Hiaku

to God we would pray
on a dull and dreary day
gorgeous sky now gray

our prayers to God said
after that had gone to bed
fires we do dread

about worried much
police tightly clutch and touch
now walks with a crutch

with God we will stand
after He gave us His hand
Him we understand

is consequential
while having the potential
of being essential

Political activities taking place.

Happy Sunday Jim, This poem reminded me of a song. "I listened to what the Good Book said And it made good sense to me Talkin' 'bout reapin' what you're sowin' People tryin' to be free Now we got new names and faces This time around Gospel changes, Lord Still goin' down" -John Denver
