I Prayed a Prayer I prayed a prayer as I was weeping For there was not within my keeping One small flower in my day "My heart is laden now with sorrow Please ,dear Lord in my tomorrow Take away these clouds of gray" The Lord then said, "You have a garden But you have to learn to pardon Those who faltered on the way Let your spirit be complete Let every person that you meet become the flower of your day" I prayed a prayer, at hour of midnight I said, "Dear Lord each dawn in daylight Not a single rose I see Just dispair has graced my window Only winds of pain and sorrow Rustle through the willow tree" The Lord said, "Look, there is an arbor Where your heart can safely harbor From oppression of the day The roses bloom when your heart’s giving Every moment that you’re living Is the flower of your day" My loneliness was my own heart That chose to live and breath apart And never pause a bit to say A word of kindness to another Extending hand to needy brother Not a flower passed my way I looked toward heaven in joy I felt With arms outstretched I humbly knelt In shadows of the moonlit glows I thanked the Lord for all He said And there upon my midnight bed A thousand petals of a rose I raised my window of dispair And let them float into the air And no one truly ever knows How much another will be blessed And how it’s given happiness To touch another with a rose Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth~ So lovely~ 'I looked toward heaven in joy I felt With arms outstretched I humbly knelt In shadows of the moonlit glows I thanked the Lord for all He said' *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Liz, dear friend, this is so inspiring and very beautiful...that we forgive and love each other is all that matters and you penned it perfectly! Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
