Pray For Peace

Pray for relief and pray for peace.
Pray for you and pray for me.
Pray for the pain that I cannot see,
and the people homeless with nothing to eat.

Pray for the world in this treacherous time.
Pray for the truth untold - and those living a lie.
Pray for the bold - that they continue to try.
Pray for the old - they know love and don't cry.

Pray for the deaf and pray for the blind.
Pray for those hurting and acting unkind.
Pray for our sins, pray for forgiveness.
Pray more of us know what love is.

Pray for my soul - insignificant in time.
But was given this gift-
So I pray in rhyme.

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
