Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contest
With the cares of every day
You are so weary
It is time to pray
As you pass along life’s way
Your fondest hopes fade
It is time to pray
By the things some people say
You are so betrayed
It is time to pray
You know your life’s gone astray
Something isn’t right
It is time to pray
When things in your life seem gray
The sunshine vanished
It is time to pray
When your nerves begin to fray
You want to lash out
It is time to pray
If you are about to sway
Away from your truth
It is time to pray
You are tempted to betray
Those who love you most
It is time to pray
