A Prayer Poem by RIC BASTASA

may all the good old people of this world

have a happy death,

may not the young die at their young age

may those who pray for death

be enlightened to choose life

and live in peace in an actualized self,

may all those who have forgotten prayer

pray, and may all those who still pray

pray some more to learn to pray

and pray earnestly that all

prayers through God's Holy Will

be heard and granted.
