David Gordon Poet Rhyme

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.

Warren Dickman October 22, 2015 at 3:11 PM 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.
