Never will you see me there, but often I do pray Within the hours of last week, or maybe yesterday You will not find me wishing or joining hands in prayer You’ll only find a hopeful shell of man that’s kneeling there Within me there’s an altar; I pray to when the need Where all my words can disappear within a hope to seed And from their growth I see things and much I do receive Returned are crops that feed my soul so I again believe I do believe there’s better or someone who’ll be there That while in promise I commit, I’ll find someone to care That miracles might well appear and help that I might see How prayers and hopes encourage paths we take and what will be I kneel unto the alter, to seed my words of prayer And when I do I’m granted strength by power that is there And then the weight I had does leave and I find I can smile So often now in course of day, I pray a little while |

Rick "Within me there’s an altar; I pray to when the need Where all my words can disappear within a hope to seed And from their growth I see things and much I do receive Returned are crops that feed my soul so I again believe" A beautiful, spirit centered poem!! |
