So, We Pray

Today we hold sway
  Tomorrow sorrow
No fortune to borrow
  So, we pray

Today all is well
  Tomorrow living hell
No one can tell
  So, we pray

Today we're on top
  Tomorrow we're fops
Like lightning the drop
  So, we pray

Should life abend
  Prayer ascends

So most everyone believes. I am something of a skeptic when it comes to prayer, since my most ardent prayers never seemed to be answer. True!

Perhaps those ardent prayers just haven't been answered yet, Milt. After all, to God, a lifetime is a blink of an eye. Keep after Him. ~ If at first,... :) gw
