Pray

PRAYER

I say a prayer is anyone there?
I beg, plead, but no answer.
Is it imaginary or am I impatient.

I’ve seen things happen in my life 
A friend, a mother, and a wife.
Blessed beyond anything wished
But at the same time incomplete

I say a prayer when I feel defeated 
Battered, broken is anyone interceding 
Sin so bad, I sink with shame, ugliness
Is someone hearing my prayer, really?

Maybe it’s just not to be heard
There’s serious things in the world 
The churches, the books all alike 
But when help is needed no one in sight

I say a Prayer for me and others 
Those with no strength to pray 
Above all else is my belief, trust 
When alone I say a prayer 
Is anyone listening can someone hear!
