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

And so we all say Amen to that. A wonderful thought at any time of year but particularly at this time. Which can be selfish in the extreme if we let it. A wonderful thought and well written. Ken

A very spiritual and moving poem, which sadly, doesn't get answered in today's society. While raised in a Christian home, my beliefs have moved from it, towards a more Divine Power, who speaks with a feminine voice. Wish, your poem, was the creed that everyone lives with. Life would be so much peaceful and less hatred for the different or unknown. Thank you for sharing.

As someone who has struggled with faith back and forth for almost my entire life, it is heart felt prayers to a God I'm not sure exists, that make me lean toward a Devine Creator. This is a beautiful piece, because it covers all those things I wish to happen. You can be proud of this write. Rain..

Amen!

I loved this simple prayer. I'm usually not a big fan of rhyming, but I enjoyed it in this one.
