We are not very fond of being alone;

need entertainment, usually overblown.

We're always looking for a wishbone;

truth be told, we really need a backbone.

God is always speaking from sunrise to sunset;

sometimes like an exuberant presto from an octet.

We need an open ear lest we continually forget;

his mercy without measure, a trustworthy asset.

Why not try prayer, it sure beats despair;

why should you care if people think it's square?

Oh what's the use, that'll never solve my problem;

nothing ever changes, life is just loathsome.

If you don't pray, you give God no welcome;

now you know why life seems so cumbersome.

But once you experience the efficacy of prayer;

all trials and tribulations, then you can bear.

We are not very fond of being alone;

surrounded by din, we surely are prone.

Silence is golden, silence is profitable;

there we hear God's voice, positively indescribable.
