Before College: A Prayer Poem by Brian Johnston

Before College: A Prayer



Sweet morning child
With eyes left sad
By twilight's dew
Rejoice at your youth
Pray to your God
For time and God
Hold all answers

If you would like to give this poem a rating, please do so in a comment that is separate from your regular comment if you leave one. Many poets, including myself, have been experiencing visits from hard to identify PH members who like to damage other's poem's ratings with illegal multiple votes of 1.0 and make a mockery out of normal voting. You voting in a comment field helps me to protect your rating of my poem which they wish to destroy. I know that this is a bit of extra work for you, but believe me it is appreciated.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Daniel Brick 27 July 2014

This is a sweet and lovely poem and it is just the kind of sentiment that will reassure a child s/he is safe and loved ones both human and supernatural are nearby. It's so important that children are made to feel safe. However, whether grown-ups are well served by the consolations of religion is another issue.
