Richard Pickett Poet Kyrielle

Pray With Me

Pray for those who cry in the night
as well as those who turn wrong into right
Pray for the child who must sleep with fright
               " Lord have mercy"

Look after the soldier who feels all alone
Pray for the child who likes to throw stones
look out for the preemie until she is grown
               " Lord have mercy"

Look after the sailors lost in the storms
comfort the widow alone as she mourns
heal the couple whose relationships torn
               " Lord have mercy"

Lord grant peace to nations of the world
Pray for no  more burning of flags unfurled
Pray for the indignant for the words that they hurl
               " Lord have mercy"

Lord pray for my family in heaven with you
And look out for the family here with me too
Pray for all sinners for they know not what they do
               " Lord have mercy"
