Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

This, My Simple Prayer

May this, my simple prayer
   please fill the air
May it reach far-flung lands
   all people, everywhere

May no child cry
   for lack of caring
Nor may there be hunger
   for lack of folks sharing

May needless suffering cease
   from rapacious wars and disease
May acts of kindness increase
   and help bring about peace

May Truth reign supreme
   lies and deception all end
May our hearts be raised upward
   the Messiah He soon send
