A Prayer
I said a prayer for you today
And know that God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word
I did not ask for wealth or fame.
I knew you wouldn’t mind,
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that he be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all
And know that God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word
I did not ask for wealth or fame.
I knew you wouldn’t mind,
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that he be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all
Hey, Nyakehu! This is good - I like it very much.
What a lovely poem. - Kui
