The Time To Pray

There is a tear drop,
sitting upon my nose.

Pretty soon it will drop,
upon my dusty toes.

Washing away a small particle of dirt,
that was in the way.

Which reminds me of why,
I take the time to pray.

I like the way you think, complicated yet simple. This is like a puzzle you have to piece together. Interesting analogies.

Prayer does remove the dirt and clear the flow from God to us..Great write..Enjoyed..I looked up the scripture references about Unicorn and Unicorns..The word translated to Unicorn in the "Bible" is actually ox, wild ox, and similiar words ...I did look up all the references and read each one...Thanks for reading my work and commenting...Sara
