My Prayer To God (repost) |

Every night I laid awake and prayed to Him alone. "Dear God," I said, "please send to me a man to call my own." They say He is a gentle one, full of love and care; and for the sake of those who ask, He always answers prayer. He always answers without fail, but in His own strong way; whether "Yes," or "No," or "Maybe so," we are not the ones to say. The years went by but no one came, and so I felt betrayed. Why when I asked but one small task, could I not have my way? Then one day I met a man with eyes sincere and true; and finally did I understand, He was saving me for you. **I posted this quite a while back in Open Poetry, but I wanted to post it here since this is where I've found a home. Would that I could say this is a true poem........< !signature--> "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare [This message has been edited by freckles (edited 03-31-2000).] |
