I Pray

I pray for peace and I pray for joy
I pray for laughter in little boys
I pray for mama and papa two grandpa's
and grandma's and I pray for you
I pray for help to guide the way
on bended knees or as I lay
I pray for strength to be strong
I pray for help when I am wrong
I pray to God and heaven on high
I pray for sin both yours and mine
I pray for sorrow what is done and gone
I pray for tomorrow with a heart felt song
I pray for the sick the old and the young
just one more day to see the sun
I pray for the time to watch you grow
I pray for love when I grow old
but most I pray for wisdom
and to understand
that it's not my will
but yours amen.......

The 'essentials' make the most profound prayers. You have a special talent for this, methinks. Lovely! Blessings, Gershon
