The Moment of Prayer

By Dawne Zacharias

Let us not forget for some children
In school, was the first time we learned about prayer
In the quiet as we bowed our head at our desks
We learned to talk to God. 
We looked forward To be able to think of the most important things
To pray about as children. A real reverence was felt.
I will never forget the first prayer in my school
That led me to first be taught then to learn of 
Jesus Christ my savior. 
What ever religion let it be within the child to know their God.
