Please Hear Our Prayer
I thought,"What should we say here,"
And much to my surprise,
A drop of rain fell from the heavens
And landed by my side.
I watched the little miracle,
Noticed how it spread,
Sharing so unshelfishly
The moisture it could give.
Just then the sun peeked through a cloud
The earth did smell so sweet,
A tiny, tiny wild flower
Opened at my feet.
Tree leaves began to dance
As a little breeze passed by,
While blades of grass reach and stretch
Toward the cloudy sky.
On a geometric pattern,
Called a spider web,
Little drops of silver
Shine above my head.
A sassy little Mockingbird
Scolded from the fence,
Doing crazy antics
That didn't make much sense.
Across the little pasture
A rabbit quickly fled
Trying to out run
The neighbor's dog called Red.
As I looked around me,
In my heart I knew
We could never hope to speak
The words to heal your wound.
So I wrote this poem
To ask the Lord above
To shower you with his treasurers
To show His strength and Love.
