I Said a Prayer Today

Yes, I just want to let you know I prayed for you today. I prayed He'd keep you safe and send His blessings down your way. I prayed that God will meet your needs And you'll always be glad. May your heart be filled with joy. May you be never sad. I said a prayer for you today And I know that God heard. He knows I meant just what I said. Yes, every single word. I wish for all of you, my friends, The very best in life. That you don't encounter hardships, No trouble, hurt, of strife. I prayed that God will pull you through If these things should arise And that the Lord would comfort you And wipe tears from your eyes. I wish you all the very best And may God light your way. For all my friends from coast to coast, I said a prayer today.

Love this poem, David. Just one suggestion, for what it's worth: Counting the syllables in your A and B lines I see you had a good 8-6 rhythm going throughout with one exception. Line 7 was an A line but only had 7 syllables: "May your heart be filled with joy." By adding the word "And" at the start of that line you would have a perfect 8-6 metric rhyme. Great job; keep them coming.
