A Prayer

prayer for a loved one

I said a prayer for you today 
And know God must have heard. 
I felt the answer in my heart 
Although He spoke no word! 

I didn't ask for wealth or fame 
(I knew you wouldn't mind). 
I asked him to send treasures 
Of a far more lasting kind! 

I asked that He be near you 
At the start of each new day; 
To grant you health and blessings 
And friends to share your way! 

I asked for happiness for you 
In all things great and small. 
But it was for His loving care 
I prayed the most of all!

A tight knit poem you have here. I love the message and the way it is written. However, I would get rid of the turquoise highlight because it's distracting. I would also expand your contraction in line 1 of stanza 2 because I think it would add to your rhythm. In line 1 of stanza 4 I would try not to repeat "for" twice there because it detracts from the line. Overall, one of the better poems on this site.

Very nicely done. The flow of it is perfect and a very kind gesture for the person this was for. Lord knows I could use the same right now in my life.

the highlight has shadowed the light your words are creating
get rid of them
and just 2 words for your prayer "GOD'S LISTENING"
