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

[Conspiration Libre D'es..]

This is perfection Terry - I'm not suggesting your other works have any less significance but this is so spiritual I feel like I'm going to cry at it's beauty.
'Bless us with another day
Amen'.
I'm so glad the sun came up for you that morning.
Thanks.

Hello, I have seen your reviews here and there and thought I would check out some of your material.

This is so heartwarming. So many lessons for us all.
The flow is perfect and it was a pleasure to read.

Peace

Surely everything that could be said about this prayor has already been written by your wise reviewers below.

A prayor for today in this modern world. Beautiful.

This is beautiful.
Would you mind if i printed it and took it in for my children at school?
We say a prayer every morning.This would be just so lovely.


Help those whose spirit is broken

Bring them joy to live and obey

Help us who are afraid of the dark
To light our way through life�s spiritual park

A poem, a prayer, a teaching, an invitation to live our lives in peaceful harmony with others.
Being your brothers keeper. Made me think of the sermon on the mount. A gentile invitation
to a powerfull way of life. An excellent work to reach our soul. More, more, more of this please. Phrases for all seasons. Excellently done, we have been inspired. TomG

This is an excellent piece of work! What an inspirational poem delivering a message that everyone can use and hold on to.

[L.P. Hawkins]

This is a number one prayer, my friend--one that we all can use. I love how you managed to encompass everything in it without bogging it down any. Very, very good!

[Wicked Irish]

Very lovely...I can see why this was a featured piece...I'm becoming a fast fan!
