We Forgot To Pray

Prayer

We forgot to pray today,
Our mutual supplication,
Benefaction via genuflection,
The midweek start to day,
And we forgot to pray.

We forgot that perfection,
Become a broken situation,
That our human condition,
Was of our own volition,
And we forgot to pray.

We forgot that God’s promise,
Was not to be controlling,
But in a relationship evolving,
That God needs constant permission,
But we forgot to pray.

We forgot to see the simple things,
The rise of sun and dimple things,
Birdsong on a frosty mourn,
The breath of life that does adorn,
And we forgot to pray.

So as we forgot to pray,
Dear God thank you for this day,
Thank you for all that we survey,
That we are fearfully but wondrously made,
And sorry we forgot to pray.

@Andrew Carnegie, Apologetic in Wiltshire, January 5th 2017.
