My Prayer Poem by Clive Blake

My Prayer

Rating: 5.0


Dear Lord,
Don't let me ask only for myself,
For problems solved and better health,
Nor ask only for kin and friends,
With minor ills and moral trends,
But make me think in global terms,
Where drought kills and injustice burns,
Please tend to their greater needs first,
Help heal their wounds and quench their thirst,
My patient faith can wait till then,
My prayer sent -
Goodnight -
Amen.

This is what we all need to imbibe within ourselves- to learn to live for others. Nice one. Thanks. Don't let me ask only for myself, But make me think in global terms, Where drought kills and injustice burns,
