Silent Prayer

A silent prayer each early morn as I'm lying in my bed, A prayer that God will help me as I struggle through my day. When I was little, Mama taught me, God had angels by my side, who would fold their wings around me, as I tried hard to be good. In school, I turned to Him, as I sent a silent prayer before each test, that no unknown word would be included and that I'd studied all the rest. I made A's on my test papers and won the spelling bee, and knew that God was listening and the angels were still near. I have lived a long, long time since then and I have had my share of woe. I have lost so many friends and all of my original family, but I have learned to trust my God and know He will be there to help me through my troubles and the wings of His angels still hold me. 2/28/19 Pick a Title Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
