A Prayer, Written 11/25/14 (Sonnet)
This tearful prayer is just a drop, O Lord
Within the ocean offered up tonight.
So in this time of fear, hate, and discord,
Please guide our steps along your path of light.
I don't pretend to know what you have planned
For those you take away from us each day,
But as I trust your benevolent hand
I know you'll heal the hurt of those who pray.
You give to us your hope and light and love,
Yet we hurt still as you take those who die.
Our offered love flies to find them above,
Like raindrops falling up into the sky.
So guide our steps, keep our hearts beating true
That we might once more walk alongside you.
