Keep the faith, PRAY, VOTE and be Thankful!


Poem Artwork

 If I were president on nine one one,

What would I do for the wrong that was done?

What could I say, how could I act,

Toward those who lost loved ones in that brutal attack?

 

Well I wasn't president, but I have to say,

My knees hit the floor on that fatal day.

I prayed for the living, I prayed for the dead,

I prayed for the enemy and the blood that was shed.

 

I prayed for all leaders, I prayed for this land,

I prayed for religions I don’t understand.

Then I prayed for my president and trusted my prayer,

Found God also listening to my president’s prayer.

 

For a president who’s faithful, humble and true ,

Knows God's still blessing, the red, white and blue.

So every election, politicians take note,

I pray for God’s guidance, before I go vote.

 

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

One prays for the safety of this nation and the other seems to pray that no more swift boat vets come forth.

Prayer is probably the best thing to do, but I also look at the various party platforms... The man will more often than not uphold the platform of his party. I enjoyed this... nicely done.

*STANDING OVATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* yessssssssssss! that is the way to vote, asking God's direction. no matter who wins, though, we need to pray for the one in office, and for our nation as a whole, asking God's divine guidance along the way. if we take God out of the equation, we're sunk. thank you for your courage in posting this; many don't feel as you do. i, for one, am glad you stand up for your faith. :) thank you for penning this powerful piece--it really spoke to me.

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :)
