Prayer

A heartbeat, an anxious thought,
A bump on the road, hot asphalt,
A quiet tear, falling on the bed;
Time for prayer, and a prayer is said.

A broken heart needs mending,
A mind in distress is bending,
The ill, the pain suffered,
And a silent prayer is offered.

The weak, the tired fall down,
The loneliness as night falls,
The despair comes around,
And in prayer the head bows.

The tear that dires on the cheek,
The strenght comes to the meek,
Hope slowly rising with the sun,
The grace offered by the Son.
