A LITTLE PRAYER

Poem Commentary

This was a poem I wrote for my youngest daughter when she was just a teenager.It was the first time I ever left her alone at night by herself.I was feeling uneasy & so I prayed & then felt led to write this poem.The next day when I got home,she told me this was how she felt but didn't want to worry me.But a mother knows,no matter how far away she may be.

A LITTLE PRAYER

A LITTLE PRAYER

I SAID A LITTLE PRAYER
FOR YOU LAST NIGHT,
THAT GOD WOULD LEAD YOU ON
EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT.

THAT HE WOULD HOLD YOU
IN HIS LOVING ARMS
KEEPING YOU,MY DARLING SAFE
FROM ALL OF LIFES HARMS.

THAT WHEN YOUR FEELING DOWN
OR WHEN YOUR FEELING BLUE
YOU'D SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
FOR HIM TO SEE YOU THROUGH.

KNOWING THIS FEELING WOULD PASS
WHEN TO HIM YOU CRY.
HE'LL GIVE YOU AN INNER PEACE
AND YOUR TEARS,HE'LL DRY.

SO ALWAYS REMEMBER MY DARLING
THAT GOD WILL HEAR YOUR PRAYER
HE'S ALWAYS RIGHT BESIDE YOU
HE'LL MEET YOU ANYWHERE.

SO NOW I'LL END MY LITTLE PRAYER
THAT I PRAYED LAST NIGHT WHILE AWAY
SAYING'THANK YOU GOD FOR MY ANGEL GIRL,
THAT YOU GAVE ME ONE DECEMBER DAY'.
