My Prayer

I wrote this early one morning before the sun came up and was in a peaceful state of mind.

My Prayer

Written by: T. L. O’Neal

 

We ask you Lord to bless the tired and weak

And to honor the spiritual and the meek

 

Heal the sick and the old

Look after the hungry and the cold

 

Help the poor to afford to live

And give people the compassion to forgive

 

Show the way to those that’s lost

Take away their anguish at any cost

 

Help us to be strong and on our feet

For one day it’s you that we’ll meet

 

Help those whose spirit is broken

Open up the skies and show them heaven

 

Help those with pain in so many ways

Bring them joy to live and obey

 

Help us who’s afraid of the dark

To light our way through life’s spiritual park

 

Help us to love one another

To accept each other as our brother

 

Help us spread your love around

And pick them up when they’re down

 

Help those who cannot see

Open their eyes for they can be free

 

God love us one and all

From the short to the very tall

 

With this Lord we do pray

Bless us with another day

Amen

though i'm not religious i found waht you were saying, i'm almost all of those people, so i guess i need prayin!


but seriously this is good, how do you think people's poems become authorized creeds, ya know things people pray as standards they were probably poems before that, i never figured it out


anyway good poem/prayer

[Kevin Connolly]

What a great prayer, Terry. I think you're a bit of a preacher on the quiet.
Exellent.

[Linda Crawford Ortiz]

The prayers of 'Everyman"...each thought a prayer in itself...together, a litany worthy of offering to The Almighty.

This is one of the most beautiful prayers I have seen. Thius was really great, soulful writing T.l. Your writing never ceases to impress me with its depth.

[Sabrina]

work of art. Excellent write.
