Someone in My Prayer Someone in my prayer is weeping Under lonely silent skies All the others now are sleeping Dreams are creeping through their eyes I would be in dream’s possession Had a teardrop not been heard So I woke with a confession Laced in every praying word Forgive me Lord, for I’ve not sought To honor those who are in need I’ve not the least small teardrop caught Where poverty has sown its seed Tonight there is a child weeping In a squalid place somewhere I hear her little voice come creeping Into warmness of my prayer The autumn moon had cast a shadow Clear and sharp this silhouette Looking down at me, a vision With my eyes abruptly met Upon my wall a gentle figure Feathers spread and wings unfurled My guardian angel swiftly fled To travel halfway round the world No explanation need be given She went where pain and squalor dwell Before my prayer came to an end She caught a tear before it fell Elizabeth Santos Oct. 27, 2002 |

Liz, this is brilliantly stunning! I tried to pick out a line or stanza, but each one of them is as good as the next. i just know with your special heart, you can help someone who needs it. Hugs to you, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |
