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

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

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! Absolutely 100% wonderful. This was a very touching, powerful piece. Anything that has to do with such purity gets more then 5 stars in my book.

This shows the inner side of you....anybody that can sit, and think of so many others, and also God at any given time, really has an inner light.....and you let it shine on all of us reading it.

Fave for me.....I'd be dumb otherwise.

Much love,

I really thought this piece was like a psalm, but good as a poem as well. Very positive and motivating. Gives light to the world. Your words ryhmed well, very good timing, good structure.
This should get some recognition!

I started writing as a way to work out my feelings and found that I enjoyed it very much. I enjoy humor and feel that you can find it in most things, even though it may be hard to find at the moment. .. more..
