Prayer Through Life

Close by a crumbled bike
In the street where a child has fell
Through the tears come a prayer
The child is alive and well
  
While on the damp ground lay
Battle rage in the jungle war
In silence come a prayer
And life for many years more
  
Life coming close to end
Drugs and drink to survive the day
On the knees come a prayer
Then life turned a new way
  
A faint smile the face hold
Frail body from age tremble slight
To the light come a prayer
An old friend clasp the hand tight

I like this, James! There are an unlimited amount of opportunities to pray each day. What a difference it would make in our world if we all took advantage of them. Blessings, Kim
