My Lord I Pray Poem by Gert Strydom

My Lord I pray
that forever man may see
the sunrise in the morning
with a new day breaking
like it did from the beginning

rain falling when and where it’s needed
bringing life to plants, trees
animals and man

the rainbow after a storm
holding your promise
that no more universal floods will come

seasons at their appropriate time
as year after year moves on
with new harvests

and that You forever hear
the voice of man.
