A Sunday prayer

Just words.

               A Sunday prayer

Time for us, all of us to stop.

Give a few second of your busy day.

We need to stop and to pray.

Pray for our world.

Pray we learn.

Every child had value and

every life had value.

We need to close our eyes.

Pray every child and family had food, shelter and

war  become myth and tale..

Maybe if a billion people praying for calm and peace.

For the safety of every life.

Maybe our leaders could learn and understand.

War and violence isn’t the ways to peace.

Leading with concern, kindness and love is the ways of peace.

One people and one earth.

We must get along for the sake of every child in our world.

I read your words and hope, deeply hope that this can happen, that our energies can be spent planting seeds of peace and love and honor rather than seeds of hate and war. Yes, a more beautiful world would rise if we did begin to pray for peace and live lives full of peace. Thank you for setting your heart in motion for us all to follow.

You are very kind and I hope and pray. We learn. All life had value and thank you for reading.

The older I get the more I hope and pray too.

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too.. Grandchildren are eight and nine years old. I pray they don't learn war.

These are such true words, but I believe they are in vain... i hate saying that but as long as there is the technology that there is life is only going to get worse and the rapture will be soon... I grew up where we left the door unlocked, and curfew was when the street lights come on and no body thought of doing drive-by shootings or mass school shooting... (Sorry I am rambling)!!! I just believe the truth in your words but lack my faith in things... Nice write thank you for sharing

[Coyote Poetry]

I wish for the old days too. Even my city of Detroit. Doors were left open and family values were alive and well. We can't give-up. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

You are most welcome..

[lightsong]

what if, all the people in this world, OK most of them really stop a moment to pray with many others from different places in this world... how it will be?

I believe in Your words, and I believe like You do, that it can do magic, it can change the world...

Thank You again for sharing Your kindness, Your care and love to this world.

It is heartbreaking when a child has to pay for the mistakes of others. There is such power in us. It has to be harnessed and united for the sake of universal good. May God help us in this. This will surely be my Sunday Prayer. For you, for me, for us all.

[Coyote Poetry]

A heartfelt and thoughtful statement.maybe it's time to believe in miracles

[Coyote Poetry]

We need a miracle. I see a small miracle coming. Kids are demanding change. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

This is earnest and well written for it is the need of the hour to be open and resolute about what plagues our world today and how we cannot give up on humanity. Reminds me of MJ's 'Heal the World'. Great work.

"We can overcome. Peace will come one day". We need Martin Luther King, Jr today. Need men and who who want a better world. Thank you Mallika for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

Well this is the first poem of its time I have seen. I thought it was really big, but the videos make it seem big, the bar on the right of the screen you use to go and up and down with, the grey bit on it, well, it was just about the size of my pink part of the nail, the bit below the white bit of your nail. Well done, have a nice day. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Zak. I appreciate the comment.

[ZakLeonRamsey]

No problem.

[SleeplessVolcano]

Lovely sentiments my friend. It does seem, though as if we are up against people with war in their blood.....I don’t think peace is a mere rational decision - it comes from within.....so we are not merely praying for people mind’s to change but their hearts too :). An ambitious prayer indeed.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. We must known internal peace to teach peace. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.
