Beatrice Boyle Poet Rhyme

Poet's Prayer

Lord, send me phrases on Eagles wings
So I can express what my heart sings
Enable me to discover a way
To find the perfect words to say
To comfort, encourage or bring a smile
To lift men's spirits for a little while
To light the way when darkness falls
To soften the blow when tragedy calls
To express true love from a timid soul
Whose emotions are kept under strict control
I do not aspire to fortune or fame
I will never be worthy of great acclaim
To touch a heart is my reward
And for these gifts...I thank you Lord
