National Day of Prayer 2013

three seguidillas
written for the National Day of Prayer
May 2, 2013


Very soon after terror
threatens with its spell,
faith signals us to gather
belief rings a bell.
Sounding out our care
as the dreaded darkness falls.
Stop and offer prayer.


During times of joy and peace
and when hopes prevail,
morning, noon or late at night
praise should never fail.
Thank the God who cares
when His blessings intervene.
Stop and offer prayers.


If you're worried or afraid
if you're caught in doubt
realize God sees your plight,
open up and shout.
Victory declare
let folks know you know He's real.
Stop and offer prayer.

Prayer can move mountains. It will always be an important part of my life.
