Best Prays Poems

Lifes backroads, have left my halo....A little dusty
And there's scars on my heart, I'll carry...To my grave

Every Sunday, I see her, two pews away
I refer to her, as my saving grace
And I give thanks, knowing she prays for me

I don't know what I've done to...

Linnie and I are bowing our heads
Down at the foot of mom and dad's bed
Kneeling and praying to God, up above
Talking in earnest, believing His Love.

Sharing our worries, our cares and concerns
Childlike faith, expressed in our words
Momma is listening, a tear in her eye
Daddy is...

CAUGHT UP INSIDE THIS PRISON CELL  Yet On the Outside Someone Still Prays--

I find myself within the cross hairs
My life is just a pen rail
Circumstances got me tied to a chair
Persist can’t I this impending cell
Caught up inside this prison jail
Someone on the outside...

Oh LORD help me
For fear has held me captive
At this moment I can’t see you for fear has blinded me
Help me LORD lest I perish
I am overwhelmed by the troubles of life
Topsy-turvy is the description of my life
But I look unto the hills from whence...

They'll pray for a thug
a murderer and thief
a lost dog-a rare fish 
but never the police...
They'll pray for 
a two timing ho ho
a mad clown on death row
but you'll not hear a peep
when its comes to the po po.
They'll pray for a pedophile
and the criminally...

Civil Private Prays 

I want to be priority made
delivery into the tyrannical hands of justice 
confirmed at the door of rightness
place at the alter of the officially divine acquisitions of men
exposed to be weak to my own consequences
and set Constitutionally free to be independently established...

Sunday Morning Quiet
David J Walker

It is in the Sunday morning quiet 
	A quiet noted in the whisperings 
Of a house settled when
The sayings will begin
	Later in the day 
	If at all
The sayings will be small
	If at all
Rapacious prays
	Repetitious fears
Religion ignored 
Lucky them 

It is a...
