Pray For Them

I pray for them
I've never seen them
Probably never will
Don't know what the problem is
Probably never going to find out
But still I pray for them

When I get home
When I go out to play sports
With a bunch of other healthy kids
When I pass the hospital 
Which is where they 
Will probably be spending a lot of time

I pray for them
Whoever they may be
Because as I hear those sirens in the distance
I know someone is in pain
And needs to be prayed for
So if no one else does
I know that I have tried
I pray for them

Jen, you are have such a sensitive soul! God bless you, and may we all pray for them. I am now praying for the families of the 24 soldiers who committed suicide last month in the Mideast. I hope you will join me. Carolyn
