Paper Prayers

She's held captive by her agony

As her paper holds her prayers

The prayers she never whispers

The prayers she never shares

She writes them down, one at a time

Knowing that God will see

Never asking Him for anything

For He knows her misery

A child that's only twelve years old

Trapped in a silent abyss

She's never heard or spoken a word

It's something she doesn't miss

She knows that God can hear her thoughts

Before she even prays

But still she writes her paper prayers

For all those rainy days

This woman died at ninety years old

And in case anyone cares

When her family came to clean her house

They found twelve thousand paper prayers
