Notes About The Poem

We the people are ultimately responsible.

God I Know You See Me

God I Know You See Me
By Franklin Price
3/5/2017

God I know You see me 
As I write this prayer to You
Please guide us on our journey
In everything we say and do

Help us to remember
That for us You're always here
To help us with the paths we take
To overcome our doubt and fear

Help us with our selfishness
Have moments of  lucidity
To be aware our egomania
And actions of stupidity

Help us in the U.S.A. 
To see that action gets it done
That we are all responsible
Not just the elected one

Help us see we're not just here, 
For ourselves, but for us all
Help us safely to the ground
To stop this needless fall

God, I pray You help us
Correct all we can that's wrong
Help us work together
To help this country get along

Amen
