A prayer

With hands joined I pray my dear God
The giver of this wonderful earth, my sweet abode

To you I look up in times of need
Hoping to gratify you with every deed

At times when filled with dismay
I looked up to you to show me the way

When fury overcome me and made me spite
I looked at you and knew the right

A world that feeds on misery and dread
I rely on you to guide my tread

Protect my family, my friends each day
With them my life joy lay

Help make my life so meaningful
Making time spent sweet blissful

Even the withering flowers solace provide
When I feel your presence by my side
