My Prayer

~ My Prayer ~

Lord, hold my hand
Steadfast in this land,
Where you gave me life;
I pray not strife ...

My family to hold,
Be not they cold.
I pray, not for riches and fame
But, to know Thy name ...

To see the brook
Where fish we hook;
To know Thy love from above,
Have the cool breeze
Through the trees ...

To come in as it does please,
With aromas to freshen and appease;
Sunshine and stars, full moon, too;
My behavior not to rue ...

Little babes, as they yawn,
Fresh dew drops at dawn;
New snow, freshly fallen at night.
Lord, may we see this sight?

All the things Thou hath made,
The sea to part, if Thou bade;
Blue waters, there, running deep.
All beings, our souls do keep.

Safely be the ships at sea;
Tall masts standing high, for all to see.
Safely close my door at night.
Humbly, Lord, let all be right ...

The walls around our humble abode.
Thank Thee, too, for the family Thou hath bestowed.
Thank Thee, Lord, for just our seeing,
Through our hearts, our Kings beings.

AMEN
