I prayed a prayer today,
I saw you across the room,
Your eyes belied the smile and laugh,
I could feel the sense of gloom.
You were laughing and talking,
But your eyes showed fear,
I couldn’t fix your problem at all,
And you showed a smile, not a tear.
I cannot help you at all.
If you won’t let me in.
But I can lift you up in prayer,
Ask the Holy Spirit, a healing to begin.
So a prayer IS what I give you.
And if truth be told,
That is the best help I can offer
To keep your heart from growing cold.
A prayer I prayed today.
My heart broke for your pain.
I know that Jesus will touch your soul.
And will give you joy, to rejoice again.
I really liked this poem - there is no better gift to give other then a prayer. :O)
