That's Why I Pray

The beauty of a babbling stream
cool to the senses,
calming to the eyes
Talk about Eye Candy!
That’s why I pray.
A playful moment
turned ugly by trouble.
Then a quick mind
and strong arms saving the day,
saving the would-be victims.
That’s why I pray.
A friend’s parent dies,
confusion and pain surrounding
I pray for comfort, for peace.
I want the man in my life
To stay strong,
to be healthy,
To be content and fulfilled.
That’s why I pray.
Because I wouldn’t know how
to cope
Without an omnipotent God
to share my trials and joys with.
To acknowledge that
I can’t survive alone
in this magnificent universe.
That’s why I pray . . .

This poem was written to say a big thank you to my Heavenly Father for every day sweetness.
Evy,
From a male perspective, I treasure these line:
I want the man in my life
To stay strong,
to be healthy,
To be content and fulfilled.
That’s why I pray.
Thanks for writing poetry about real 'stuff' in our lives
